Hi - not possible with Windows XP - you'd need a terminal server for that.
WinXP in its current incarnation allows for only one login at a time -
whether remote or at the console.

To echo Shenan - no. You need a W2000 server (one dedicated to TS only!),
run TS in application mode, and buy TS licenses & install & configure the TS
license server.

However, you did not state that, nor does the Winconnect site....
Here is the applicable EULA:
1.4 Remote Desktop/Remote Assistance/NetMeeting. The
Software contains Remote Desktop, Remote Assistance, and
NetMeeting technologies that enable the Software or
applications installed on the Workstation Computer (sometimes
referred to as a host device) to be accessed remotely from
other Devices. You may use the Software's Remote Desktop
feature (or other software which provides similar
functionality for a similar purpose) to permit any Device to
use, access, display or run the Software without acquiring a
license for the Software on that Device, provided only one
user uses, accesses, displays, or runs the Software at any one
time. When you are using Remote Assistance or NetMeeting (or
other software which provides similar functionality for a
similar purpose) you may share your session with other users
without any limit on the number of Device connections and
without acquiring additional licenses for the Software. For
Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications, you should consult
the license agreement accompanying the applicable software or
contact the applicable licensor to determine whether use of
the software with Remote Desktop, Remote Assistance, or
NetMeeting is permitted without an additional license. As
used above, a session means the experience delivered by the
Software similar to when a user is using the input, output and
display peripherals attached to the Workstation Computer.
