Remote Desktop Connection

[ted leslie]

i have run into some font rendering issues with rdesktop  to windows,
so rdesktop/vnc isnt acceptable for me.

i am currently eval'ing a 
vnc through NX  (nomachine.com)
middle ware cache/compressor,

it is faster (less bandwidth) then rdp/rdesktop on some stuff,
but is really bad on some stuff as well, like nested menus, etc.

they (nomachine) claim that vnc (over NX) is even better then 
rdp (even by factors of 2X or more), but i think that
number comes only from their graphic caching abilities,
and if you are not revisiting the same graphics over and over again,
but rather doing more core GUI (pulldowns, buttons, etc) rdp is
preferable.

it is working well through a 64Kbit access to a XP pro desktop,
making it fairly usable.

if rdesktop/rdp doesnt do it for you,
try vnc over NX
