    ..for what OS?

    Windows XP, for instance, is not designed to host more than a single
    logon via RDP; it just ain't happenin'. Remote Assistance operates a
    bit differently; more like NetMeeting's desktop sharing.

    Windows 2000 only allows 2 connections unless you're operating in
    Application mode.

    Windows 2003 allows one more connection (/console), but this will log
    off any existing console logon if its allowed to connect.

    Has anyone implemented Microsoft Remote Desktop in a secure and
    efficient way? Is there a way to overcome having the host computer
    logoff the current active user? Without that this program is pretty much
    useless.

    Thanks
