Not using Microsoft tools.  One is all you get. You'd need to look at MS Server product to up the limit. Small Business Server is quite reasonable now . . . .

On the 3rd party front would probably be cheaper to purchase a router that supports VPN connections.  That would get your VPN client on the same LAN segment as the XP box to do whatever you need.  When you are checking for replacement routers/firewall make sure it supports multiple VPN connections (or at least as many as you need).  You don't just want one that will perform VPN pass through.  That just lets a VPN connection be established through the device.  You need the device to actually act as a VPN Server.


Hope this helps
