What has your experience been like?  Which RDP (Java?).  One thing that has 
been on my list - is to take XDM over from TCPIP and port a recent version 
of it for the next functionality release.  I assume you are using a vanilla 
Windows/Vista keyboard - and not a VMS keyboard (is the 5545 USB).  Any 
language issues?
