support multiple users. That's a part of the server products. XP Pro only
allows one user to be active on the machine at once, which also means that
scaled-down version of terminal services included in in XP Pro as Remote
Desktop only allows one user to be active. In fact, if a RD client logs in,
the local console goes blank.
What you're looking for is a server-class feature. If you want it, you'll
need to go with 2K Server (with additional terminal services licenses). It
will also be a part of Windows.net Server, coming next year. Or you can
look into other products, such as Citrix Metaframe (which terminal services
was largely based upon), although that's not cheap either. I'm not sure if
any inexpensive products will allow multiple simultaneous logins. I know
that PCAnywhere allows one at a a time. The local screen doesn't go blank,
but the remote user has full control of the desktop, so the user can't
really do much. I think most low-cost versions will be like Remote
Desktop...one user at a time. There might be something out there I'm not
aware of, though.
