Very cool feedback. Thank you all. 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.
Lou
