Is there any way that 1 PC can be networked with 2 monitors, keyboards and mice, (the way main frames do) so that 2 end users can access the same computer simultaneously?

The one computer is running Windows XP.

Thank you. Your answer gave me insight to a whole new concept that I was not aware of.

The ability to use multiple monitors is built into Windows XP. See the following MS Knowledgebase article: 307873 (go to www.microsoft.com/technet and search for this article number). Hope this helps!

No. You can network PCs using peer-to-peer or a fileserver. You can attach a KVM switch that would allow you to connect the same keyboard and mouse to multiple computers. You can multiple monitors to a single PC. But you can't do what you're asking.
