 Thread : Is there an RDP Client for PPC that Scales the Window?

I have tested the TS client capability on PPC 2003 and it works but I find it
unsatisfactory because of the need to scrol the window. Does anyone know of a
third-party solution, or, for that matter, a Microsoft solution to this
problem. I guess that what it would mean is to have the window scaled down to
fit the size of the PDA display, in this case a Dell Axim X5.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

It wouldn't be very functional if it was resized to a QVGA sized
screen... Remote Desktop/Terminal Services becomes a whole lot more
user friendly when using one of the VGA Pocket PCs (x50v or the IPAQ
4700 series) running at 640x480...

Jeffrey,

thanks for the informative followup. You have given me the justification I
need to "upgrade" to an X50v!
