XP Pro Incoming Connection

[Guest]

Hi,

In XP Pro, are there any limits on dial-up based incoming connections?
For example, if I have two modems, can two different dial-up connections be
supported?

I read the following in the documentation and it leads me to believe that
XP Pro can only support a single dial-up based incoming connection.

"By creating an incoming connection, a computer can act as a remote access
server if it is running Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional,
or if it is a stand-alone computer running Windows 2000 Server. You can
configure an incoming connection to accept the following connection types:
dial-up (modem, ISDN, X.25), virtual private network (VPN) (PPTP, L2TP), or
direct (serial, infrared). On a computer running Windows 2000 Professional or
Windows XP Professional, an incoming connection can accept up to three
incoming calls, up to one of each of these types. On a computer running
Windows 2000 Server or Whistler , the number of inbound calls is only limited
by the computer and its hardware configuration."

Thanks,

Matt

Yes.

I don't think so, at least not concurrently.

That's correct.

You can
configure an incoming connection to accept the following connection types:
dial-up (modem, ISDN, X.25), virtual private network (VPN) (PPTP, L2TP),
or
direct (serial, infrared). On a computer running Windows 2000 Professional
or
Windows XP Professional, an incoming connection can accept up to three
incoming calls, up to one of each of these types.

That seems to be exactly what it's saying.
