    Has anyone successfully used rdesktop to link to
    a machine running Windows XP Home Edition?

    As far as I can see, Windows XP Home Edition
    does not support Telnet server or Remote Desktop
    (as Windows XP Pro does).
    It does support "Remote Assistance",
    and I see from the archive for this list
    that some claim one could use this
    to login to a Windows machine from a Linux box.
    Unfortunately none of the postings I have seen
    explains how this is done.

    Has anyone actually linked Linux to WinXP Home in this way?
