Can someone please tell me how an XP Pro client machine accesses a W2k Server via Terminal Services? In other words, what is the Windows XP Terminal Services client? Thank you.

Windows XP does have a built in Terminal Services client (called Remote Desktop Connection - Start/All Programs/Accessories/Communication), and I have not had any problems with it. However, when working with end users I found that unless there is an icon on the desktop they are totally lost. Some flavours of W2K server automatically create a share called TSClient with the Terminal Services Client install in it, if not, it is reasonably available (eg Win98SE CD under Addons\TSClient\mstsc).
As a side note, installing the client allows you to access your windows XP computer remotely as well (still only one logon at a time though).

Great, thanks! Wow, I've already used Remote Desktop and didn't know THAT was the TS client! Thanks again, Andre
