I posted earlier about getting my (soon to arrive) PowerBook connected to my Windows 2000 Server network at work. Thanks for the helpful answers.

Here's a new question: we just got terminal server up and running and I was wondering if there's some monkeying I need to do in OSX(.2.3!) in order to use it.

Or do I just need Virtual PC (version 6 just came out!)? Off-topic digression: anybody use this version yet? How's it perform?

If there's some way of connecting to terminal server with my PowerBook, maybe I won't need to shell out the 250 bucks for Virtual PC. Biggest reason for me to get it is so that I can use our Access database. But with a terminal server session, I could just run Access from our server. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping one of you knowledgeable souls out there can offer some help.

Thanks!

I don't know if the following would work, but it's a small download, so you can take a look at the readme.
