DM 30.000 (~US $20.000) reward for NT RDP client

Kristian Köhntopp writes "IGEL Systems, a german maker of embedded and thin client Linux systems, is promising DM 30.000 (approx. US $20.000) for the development of a functioning X11 RDP-client, German Linux Magazin reports. The resulting program will be made available under the GNU GPL. The english translation follows."

Here is the english translation of the original German text:

Augsburg based IGEL GmbH, known for the Flash-Linux Thin Client Devices, promises a reward of DM 30.000 for the development of a functional X11 RDP-Client, which can access NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition. The winning program will be made available under GPL. For interested developers joining into this effort could be interesting, but the complexity of this problem is hard to estimate because the RDP protocol is little known.

At Exponet '98 from Nov 24th to 26th in Düsseldorf you will have the chance to talk to IGEL directly about this challenge and you will have the chance to test-drive their new (linux-based) Etherterminals. Finally, IGEL is hiring - C, network and hardware knowledge required.
