Microsoft® Windows®-based Terminal Server, version 4.0, is a product that enables the Microsoft® Windows NT® Server version 4.0 operating system to act as a terminal server for multiple, simultaneous client sessions. A Windows NT user can connect to a Terminal Server by logging on to a Windows-based Terminal or a Windows-based Terminal emulator.
A Windows-based Terminal is a thin-client hardware device that runs an embedded Windows-based operating system. A Windows-based Terminal emulator is client software that enables a Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX client to connect to a Terminal Server to display Windows-based applications. This combination of Terminal Server clients provides access to 16-bit and 32-bit Windows applications from virtually any desktop.
