Ric has pretty much covered everything... but I just want to make a simple
correction here:
Legally->
In SBS2000 you need as many CALs as devices you have accesing the server
(not counting FTP, POP3, OWA and so on). So, if you have 5 desktops, 1 PDA
and 1 laptop that are shared by only 3 users (so only there are 3
simultaneous conections at any given time)... you still need 7 CALs (not 3).
In SBS2003 is the same... but you can assign a CAL to a device or to an
user. So, in the last case you would need only 3 CALs (but still it doesn't
have to do with simultaneous connections).
My $0.02,
