Phillip, are you saying that Windows 2000 Pro has the terminal service built
in?

Not to contradict, but what I was actually saying, either the Terminal
Services Client, Remote Desktop client or the Terminal Services Connections
MMC needs to be installed on Windows 2000 Pro, none of which are built into
Windows 2000 Pro, that is previous to Service Pack 2 (but didn;t install it,
but just available in the i386 folder of the SP), unlike XP, which has the
Remote Desktop Client built in.

But one cool thing I forgot about that can be used to access a Terminal
Server server is the TSAC ActiveX web based client. TSAC needs to be
installed on the Windows 2000 servers running Terminal Services to add this
functionality so it can be accessed by a browser.

You can even make an XP Pro machine work like this so you can connect to it
thru a web page instead of using any of the client apps:
