This sounds good, but forgive me, I have very little knowledge of the M$ server
products/Liscensing Scams. I would need NT Terminal server, Does 2000 Advanced server
have the Terminal Server stuff, or is it a seperate product. I can't use The 2000
Professional (desktop) product or NT 4.0 server? Will I then need licencing on the
Terminal Server side, If I have 20 Linux Clients do I need a Terminal Server with 20
Access Lic?
