Is rdesktop still using RDP5? We had previously gone to xfreerdp as it
supported RDP6 and the performance difference on a WAN/Internet
connection was stunningly better. We had heard Remmina was using
xfreerdp but, when we tried it, it was not only highly unstable but the
performance was clearly that of RDP5. That was many months ago and I do
not know what has changed since - John
