Aargh,
I thought it was a general link since every protocol seems to have it

Q.	What port does Remote Desktop use? Does everything go over port 3389?
A.	Port 3389 is the only port you need to open. Windows will attempt
         to stream sound through User Datagram Protocol (UDP) first.
         If no port is available for UDP, sound will stream through a virtual
         channel in Remote Desktop Protocol, which uses port 3389.

rdesktop is also known as rdp (remote desktop protocol). I think it is also supported
by VNC but since I have never used VNC I don't really know.

The free implementation I use
http://www.rdesktop.org/
has four links at the end of the page. I quote

Documentation
-------------
The rdesktop file releases contain documentation on the program.

The RDP protocol itself is essentially an extension of the
ITU-T T.128 (aka T.SHARE) application sharing protocol.
While as far as I know there is no publically available RDP
documentation other than the rdesktop source, the following
are links to relevant ITU-T drafts and RFCs:

# T.128 Draft - Application Sharing Protocol
# T.125 Draft - Multipoint Communication Service
# RFC905 - ISO DP 8073 Transport Protocol
# RFC2126 - ISO Transport on TCP
