Hi all,

I know about Winconnect where you can run XP Pro as a terminal server.
But I want to know are there any open source packages out there at least
being worked on to allow multiple RDP connections to XP pro? I have a single
PC at home, and my wife uses it during the day. I would like to be able to
connect to my desktop from work as needed and not kick her off. Having at
least 2 concurrent RDP connections would be great. I know you can hack XP to
do it, but I am asking if there is any legit software out there to do this?

Thanks
Joe

As the OP stated - they knew it could be hacked.

They are looking for legitimate software solutions or hints that this may be
available in future releases of Service Packs or Operating Systems.
