<< Larry: But remote desktop and things like gotomypc would be a one-on-one solution. For every user wanting access, you'd have to have a separate computer on the receiving end. That's what they don't want. >>
If you want multiple simultaneous connections (which I didn't understand from the original post, probably from reading too fast) then you definitely do need Terminal Server or some similar application (eg, Citrix). If you only want one simultaneous session, even if it can originate from a variety of different PCs (which is what I mistakenly thought you were looking for), then the various hosted or direct remote control solutions will do the trick. << I've been separately corresponding with Bob Thompson because he is indirectly involved with this client and he told me that Terminal Services is not a part of XP, but rather a part of Microsoft Server. >> When it supports multiple simultaneous users it's called Terminal Services Server and yes, it's part of Windows Server. (Almost) the same product is built into Windows, including XP, under the name Remote Desktop Connection or something similar (they change the name slightly with each release of Windows). It is essentially the same as Terminal Services Server but supports only a single simultaneous connection, which may not meet your needs. To see whether your XP computer has this feature turned on or not, go to My Computer (right click) | Properties | Remote. Once again, if you truly want multiple, simultaneous connections this is not the solution for you. -- Larry
