Sounds like your best bet is a MS server with Terminal Services + RDesktop
as the linux client.
I had a look on the RDesktop site and it supports Win2k as the server. For
NT4 you'll need NT Terminal Server. I'm not sure about Win2k, I know 2k
Server includes Terminal Services, but I'm not sure if this is enabled for
multiple logons, I'd guess it is though.
You could also use citrix metaframe, but it'll probably cost quite a bit
more (but more functionality, such as sound across the network).
