I tried to connect from my desktop PC running SuSE 9.1 to the computer in
the Division I'm moving to (they all use Windows in there) .. I
succeeded by using the SuSE provided Remote Desktop Connection.

Now my question is: Can people I'll be working with, who (unfortunately)
use Windows XP, connect to my computer running Linux/SuSE 9.1 ?
They regularly use RDC for connections among Windows computers.
I've just found out it's possible to connect from Linux to Windows.
I wonder if the opposite way works too, that is from Windows XP
to Linux/SuSE ??? If the answer is YES then what should they use
(protocol/package) and what should they know about my computer (domain,
IP, etc..) ?
All the computers are on a network.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Maura
