Hello!
I just recently subscribed to this mac.rdc newsgroup so I don't know if
this question was or has been already posted. Please excuse the
re-post.

Is it possible to use RDC to connect to a Mac? XP to 10.4.5?

I found it to be easier to connect to my home network from work using
RDC than with Apple's ARD (Apple Remote Desktop). If I could just
figure a way to tap into my Mac at home from work, I could get so much
more done.

Just wondering.

Thanks!
MM

No. RDC is a Microsoft technology to allow clients to connect to Windows
computers. It's not supported the other way around.

VNC, however, may be an acceptable substitute for you. It's made for
Mac, Windows and UNIX platforms and is free.

Hope this helps! bill
