Hi Guiseppe,

through this list. The URL was posted on Tuesday, July 02, 2002 by Brian
Ludden. (Subject: [THIN] Re: Terminal Services)
it was:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/tools/1.0/wxp/en-us/msrdpcli
.exe

I already had this WinXP CD before but never thought of trying the RDP
client on the CD on something else than WindowsXP.
Because of the posts to this group I checked again, and look ... it works
also on NT4 and Windows2000, so why not use it?

It has a bunch of exciting new features we missed in the RDP 5.0 client.
It also has a couple of minor bugs ... (but such is life, nowadays).

It allows to use a color depth larger than 8bit (the current limit in the PN
Client, as to what I know).
Alt Tab was mentionned, access to WindowsXP desktop clients (I got one a
couple of months ago, so I can now remotely access my desktop what is much
better than using VPN before)
