I know of no software that will server as a "Windows Terminal Server" on FreeBSD. However, as others have pointed out, there are a number of alternatives: ssh if you don't need a GUI, X, and VNC. I just wanted to clarify that none of these actually use the Windows Terminal Server protocol, and thus each will require software installed on the clients as well as the server. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
