Hi Jack,
I definately have a windows 2000 server in our offices
that can accessed simultaneously by more than one
sesssion. It only allows one sesssion of VNC and one
session of remote control at the same time. To be honest
that joint use is also very limted in that we do not try
to run programs simulataneously. We tend to use the
server as a phone "stats" machine that our staff can view
during the day and I can keep tabs on it at the same time
via a VPN from home.
Good luck, Domingo
