I'll start looking into the terminal service (it didn't get installed with W2K, but I haven't checked out XP Pro yet) and use VNC in the meantime. I'll be using it to write Word docs mostly, and if it's efficient enough, I might just see how well Escape Velocity works (I know, probably not at all). Network security isn't an issue because it's all my personal network behind a firewall. Thanks again.
