If running on the Windows system, it is possible to have more than one connection to the PC from other PC’s or Mac’s, but NOT to allow control (ie: view only sessions). One remote connection can be given full control, but only one at a time, and it will have to be released from the remote controlling system in order to be grabbed by a different remote system.

s far as true native sessions, Labnuke is correct that a true server OS would need to be used if that type of connection is required.
