I don't remember seeing this app mentioned here and I think many might find it really useful. It is a java based application for connecting to a Windows Terminal server. Make sure you download the "for unix" version without Java VM, it contains only one file install.bin, execute it from the shell as

./install.bin
This will bring up a java based installer and after that it is easy. I didn't test it very extensively but managed to connect to Win machine in a first attempt and it looked fine and relatively fast (faster than VNC) on my Lombard. For more info visit the HOB web site.

[Editor's note: I'm unable to test this app, as I have no access to a Win2K server. It's a commercial package with a try-before-you buy eval that has no functional (only time) limitations -- which I applaud. If you need this connectivity, HOBLink may be a solution for you.]
