RE: VB: [rdesktop-announce] rdesktop 1.3.0 released

I would be very surprised if you are able to get more than 256 colors on a Windows 2000 that not is running citrix ica protocol.

Here is some info from Microsoft for the release of Windows 2003: 

Greater Color Depth and Screen Resolution  With RDP 5.1, color depth can be selected from 256 colors (8-bit) to True Color (24-bit), and resolution can be set from 640 x 480 up to 1600 x 1200. For example, an IT administrator can use Terminal Server to support store kiosks displaying merchandise. They can be set to provide true color images for the best product image.

That is incorrect.  RDP5 (Windows 2000) introduced 16-bit color, and
serial/parallel port redirection.  RDP5.1 (WinXP) introduced sound
redirection.  RDP 5.2 (Win2003) introduced 24-bit color.
