[foxboro] More questions on the evolution from UNIX to Windows

Folks,
The questions continue...
*       My understanding is that unlike UNIX, only the "host" AW70 can
configure (using ICC) FCP270s, FBM233s (A-B PLC Gateway), etc. but the
existing UNIX AW/WP51s cannot; correct?  
*       Do the WP70s have access to the AW70's control configurator;
like UNIX?  
*       My understanding from Foxboro is that any standard Windows
workstation in our office can remotely log into the AW to configure
blocks, but only one at a time; correct?  How is this setup/enabled?
Can I assume that during one of these sessions, the normal
operator/engineering functions are not affected (a remote login session
is transparent to the local AW70 user; just like UNIX)?
We are trying to figure out how many and what type of workstations are
required to set up an engineering test bed.

Different subject...
*       Can we not purchase the same Dell workstations (nothing
special?) directly from Dell and have the Foxboro IA Series software
installed and supported by their Service organization; this obviously
excludes hardware issues.  What is your experience?  What are the risks?

We would appreciate some advice...
