Terminal server in Interenet Explorer

I am planning a terminal server in a new network. It will
consist of Windows 2003 SBS for e-mail and a file & print
server. I will then have a web server that will be for
website(s) & media streaming etc. I then want to add a
Terminal Server. I have only used Terminal server
locally "in house" in the past. If I want the clients who
work off site to connect, can I set them up to access the
server through Internet Explorer from wherever they are or
do I need to set up the client machines with the typical
remote desktop client software/setup? There are users
around the country that need to run shared applications on
that server & preferrably they would be able to run them
from anywhere be it in their office or at a sales call on
site with a customer. Thanks for your help.

You can't run SBS 2003 terminal services in application mode - nor would you
want to. You never want to install workstation apps on a DC or let users log
into it. You can install a separate server for TS, though...

I don't want to run Terminal serv er on the SBS2003. As I
said, that will be the file, print & mail server. I will
have a separate web server and also a separate Terminal
Server. I want to know if there is a web based interface
to access terminal services or do I need to run the TS
Client setup from each location?

Ah, OK - I misunderstood - sorry!
You can install TSWEB and have people connect through their browsers,
although I personally prefer the remote desktop client (and there's a
version alreadly installed on WinXP). No problem having people use both.
