[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] VNC Viewer maemo port now available

[From: John B. Holmblad]

Aaron,

that is great news. I am also interested in knowing whether anyone has 
ported RDesktop to GTK/Maemo. I am interested in having interoperability 
with Microsoft Windows environments using the Remote Desktop Protocol 
(RDP). Do you know if anyone is working on this?

Best Regards,

John Holmblad
