To the OP - here's what I get when testing from a FreeBSD box to one of=20
our servers:

pauls@utd65257# telnet hostname.utdallas.edu 3389
Trying 10.110.21.80...
Connected to hostname.utdallas.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
test
^C
login test
Connection closed by foreign host.

So, if a connection closed message is what you get, it appears to be a=20
timeout after a failure to authenticate.  The access denied message you=20
cited appears to be a firewall or acl issue that prevents the server from=20
accepting connections from your FreeBSD box.

BTW, I use rdesktop routinely to rdp to various Windows 2003 servers, but=20
I haven't tested it against a terminal server.  I'll try that and let you=20
know what I find.
