Actually, Pro IS the server product... What makes them different is the
license code. They haven't officially released the "Terminal Server"
product yet in that they're not officially advertising it. What I've got
is the "initial" release of Pro. And if you look at the User Manual for
Pro, you'll see a section for the Terminal Server functionality.
I'm not sure if I'll be sticking with their Pro version of TS or not. I
currently use WTS 3.0--we use it for compatibility purposes. We have a
large number of Access 97 databases that aren't compatible with Office
2003--so WTS 3.0 is running Win98SE and Office 97 until we can get all
the database converted.
The biggest problem with WTS 3 is that the fricking Num Lock doesn't
work on ANY Linux distro I've tried EXCEPT MDK 9.2. My MDK server is
having some serious issues and needs to be replaced. I'm hoping to be
able to get Pro working on Gentoo so I can get rid of MDK--only time
will tell, I'll have two months to test it.
It's odd you say bad things about Pro. I've seen several other comments
about it and they've all been good. What types of issues are you or
other people having with it?

I got a two month eval license from them as we will be upgrading from
their kernel-based Win4Lin Terminal Server 3.0 software. I don't think
VMware can do anything like this, can it?
Don't know if VMW has anything like a terminal server. However, you
should read the Win4Lin forums and see some of the comments. I don't even
think the server product is finished yet. If it's anything like Pro, then
stay away.
What you installed is NOT the terminal server product. Good luck.
