Multiple RD hosts on one network

Is it possible to set up several Remote Desktop hosts (each running XP Pro)
on one network which will be accessed through multiple router ports (ie;
3389, 3390, etc.) which will then be directed to the appropriate PCs on the
network? This would allow several workers to access their office PCs while
they are away from the office. I have found no reference to this in any
literature. Thanks!
If possible, are there any tricks I need to know to utilize this?
If not, are there any third party solutions that would allow this to work
(cheap?)?
-- Thanks again!

Here is a short how-to...

A better solution, and one that I use, is to setup either a VPN or Secure
Shell (SSH) tunnel so you can access multiple PCs through only one hole in
your router/firewall. Personally I use SSH. Here are some SSH links you may
find helpful...

Al..

I'm trying to locate a solution for setting up an XP thin client server.
I am trying to determine how to set up the XP os for people to term serv
into, on a scale of about 50-60 users.
We have legacy equipment, and are trying to come up with a reasonable
solution.
Any info you may have would be greatly appreciated!
