Tsclient
Encyclopedia
tsclient is a frontend for rdesktop
and other remote desktop tools, which allow remotely controlling one computer from another. It is a GNOME
application. Notable visual options include color depth, screen size, and motion blocking.
Features include: a GNOME panel applet to quickly launch saved profiles, sound support, similar look and functionality to the Microsoft client and compatibility with its file format, interface translated into more than 20 languages, and support for rdesktop 1.3, Xnest
and VNC clients (*vncviewer).
There's not much documentation about the tool. It's seemingly developed by a single person, there's one person (James Willcox) listed in the AUTHORS file of the new Version.
In the credits pane found within version 0.150, there are four authors listed (Erick Woods, Kyle Davis, Jonh Wendell, Benoit Poulet).
There is also a build available for Mac OS X.
