Hi all,
I'm looking for an application that will allow 2 to 3 users to take
control of their own remote desktop on a PC running XP Pro, from what I
can see the option is changing this to business server and using
terminal services. Clients will be coming in via client VPN as they also
need to access other local resources on the remote network.
Anyone know of any other alternatives ? for this amount of users it's
almost more cost effective to get a couple of old computers and use VNC!!
Thanks
simon

Forgot to add. The application they need to access is a windows based
access thing, so does not scale well over the wan..

Just in case anyone has any opinions, I think I have found just the
thing, winconnect server XP from thinsoftinc.com - $300 for a 3 user
license. If anyone has any input on that product it would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks, yes a good product but it only allows you to have a single user
accessing the remote computer at a time.
