Can Windows XP Pro be a Terminal Services server?

Can Windows XP Pro be a Terminal Services server?

NO! Terminal Services is know as Remote Desktop and there is only one
Remote Desktop "client" which will close the monitor (console) XP
session.

Thanks.

Sorry to re-open this, but do you mean a TRUE Windows Server Terminal
Server or just more than 1 person logged in via console or remote
desktop? If the latter, go here: http://www.kood.org/terminal-server-patch/
I have personally used this and it works great.

No, a true terminal server is not necessary. What I have a need for
is an ability for our UNIX users to access the PC from their
workstations. With Server 2003, up to 5 of them could log onto the PC
and run the applications there with the display being sent back to a
window on their workstations. Unfortunately, the critical software I
need the PC for no longer runs under anything but XP and Vista. Will
this software you mention allow me to regain that remote capability?

Thanks
