any way of making it work for Professional edition so that i can connect to
my win2k computer remotely.
I tried several other programs including PCAnywhere and Radmin but none of
them work as good as
Microsoft's own RDC. I know that i need at least server edition but jsut
curious if there is some workaround
to make terminal services available on pro edition.

thank you

Or UltraVNC, which has a lot of enhancements over RealVNC.

Remote Desktop hosts must either run Windows Server or
Windows XP Professional. Windows 2000 cannot do it,
because it won't run the terminal server service. You'll have
to use one of the other products, or upgrade to WinXP Professional.
