4 java developers are new to iPod Touch/iPhone app development. They have an idea for an app. They have never used Xcode or Macs before.

Instead of spending money for a new iMac or Mac Mini for each of them, my boss would like to sell them a $999 Apple server, hosted at a facility connected a single T1 line, and have all 4 people work remotely in Xcode.

Is this feasible? Is anyone doing anything like this? Specifically, is 1 T1 enough for realistic remote app development?
Would they have to work in black & white via Logmein or Gotomeeting to get decent speed?
Can four people work remotely together on an Xcode project at the same time?
Do they absolutely need their own Macs to connect their iPod Touches or iPhones physically to, or can they connect to their existing PCs with iTunes and install their in-development apps that way?
