Does anyone know if there is a linux client for Windows Terminal Services?

I have some boxes that I work on that run Windows 2000 Server (with Terminal Services enabled), and I want to log on to them from my linux box.

According to the documentation, you can connect from a variety of platforms, but I couldn't find anything as far as Linux client software.

However, you might want to look into using VNC as an alternative. It has (free) client and server software for numerous platforms and was designed to do exactly what you are talking about... managing a Windoze server remotely from a Linux box.

I know in Mandrake 8.2 there is a way to connect to a Winodws Terminal Server. I have not tried it though. I dumped Windows for everything but games.
