Adilson is right.  I was trying to connect with -a 24, but I always=20
connected at 16bpp.  But, there is a "Limit Maximum Color Depth" setting =
on=20
the "Client Settings" tab, which, by default is set to 16.  I changed it =
to=20
24 and, I am telling you now and you can believe me later, it's connectin=
g=20
at 24bpp.

Thanks,
