Dear all,

obviously I have an understanding problem.

I'm a newbie to VNC with only very little windows-knowledge;
I come from unix, so please forgive my ignorance...

We live in a nearly windows-free environment, but nevertheless
sometimes we have the need to access a windows-machine and run
a program that's available only there.

Therefore I'm looking for a possibility to access one windows-host
(XP Pro) from remote. This is working with windows remote desktop,
but I failed to use remote desktop for more than two or more (different!) 
sessions in parallel. It looks to me as if only one connection
is possible at a time, whether it's from remote or locally.

Then I've read that I want to use VNC... :)
Before buying something, I tried the free version and
was astonished: It looks to me as if VNC "only" dublicates
the workstation local screen and sends the output to my remote
PC-desktop. Even when I was not logged in to the windows machine,
I can see the windows-session screen that I've opened with vncviewer
on my remote PC parallel on the windows-screen.

So has VNC the possibilities to open several (at least 3 or 4)
different windows sessions that do not "see" each other?

Or is it more a teaching/helping/surveying tool where one person can see
and correct, what another person is doing? 

With best regards,

Bernt Christandl
