Making a 2000 PC act as a terminal??

Is it possible to network 2 PC's running Windows 2000 Pro, and have one
PC act as a terminal to another, just as though it had 2 keyboards and 2
screens? How? Thanks

I want to be able to use a PC in another room from my office and have the
main, office based PC store all changes as if I were using THAT one.

I have heard of VNC, will that run fairly quickly over a 100BaseT LAN
using Netbui or TCP/IP?

VNC should do it. There is a commercial product called PC Anywhere. I
have seen copies of it on magazine covermount disks.

I've used RealVNC in the situation you describe...very fast over
100mbps tcp/ip.
