    Michael,

    Windows NT4 Server does not support Terminal Services. In its time there
    was a Windows NT4 Terminal Services Edition flavor of Windows NT4 Server.

    Using only Windows NT4 Servers you cannot RDP from an XP workstation to a
    Windows NT4 network.

    You could potentially accomplish this by adding one Windows 2000 server to
    your NT network to act as the Terminal Services host.
