Terminal server on Win2k Pro?

[Zyxt]

Is it possible to have a terminal *server* on Win2k Pro? We can of course
remotely connect to a WinXP machine and a Win2k Server using the built in
TermServ/RDP features, but how about those old Win2k Pro machines? We have
a couple of old Win2k Pro machines here (at the school I'm admining) that
have some old, obscure software on them. We need to be able to remotely
access these machines. I don't want to have to reinstall these machines as
XP since we'd have to reinstall that obscure software. Being able to just
use the simple RDP client to connect would be great.

If this just isn't possible, I can throw VNC Server on these machines, but
I wanted to first check on using RDP/TermServer instead. Thanks!

There's no native way to do this - so VNC or similar is your only option,
sorry, unless you can upgrade to XP Pro in place.
