Do any of you have experience with CoRD (http://cord.sourceforge.net/)? It
is an open source replacement for Microsoft's RDC. There's a bug in the MS
RDC that causes radio buttons to not display properly, even in the 2.1.1
version.

Just want to know if there are any gotchas or any problems with running it.

Thanks!

I've also used CoRD plenty, but unless they've updated it very recently it does not support RDP 6 which RDC 2.1.1 does. RDP 6 supports SSL encryption which most Vista/7 boxes use by default.
