I wasn't that impressed but then again it = could have been a PEBKAC situation. I could not get the screen = resolution of the Windoze 2003 server to go anything beyond 640x480 and = it looked horribly grainy. Other than that, it did actually connect and = allowed me to do all that I needed to. I just couldn't handle the = graphic element, which again may have been more a user issue than an = issue with the program. Other than that, I have used the Windows RDC = programs and they work ok.
