yes it is possible. My work server in the UK has terminal services running, and I can connect via "Remote Desktop Connection" to it. Really not sure what had to be setup on the win 2k server box, but it does work. For me, I need to setup a vpn connection first, but if the boxes were on a lan or otherwise unfirewalled, this should be possible.

As was mentioned vnc (or radmin or pcanywhere) also work very well - the difference with these vs terminal services is that you see the actual desktop as if you were sitting at the machine - terminal services gives you a discrete terminal session.

FWIW - I have found vnc to be slightly flaky in the past, though did not use either of the ones mentioned, so prefer the commercial products - which are both quite cheap anyway (radmin is 25USD for a single license - one host, one client)
