My client says: "As I thought, Windows 2000 Terminal Services is limited to 256 colors."

Is this correct? What can be done about this?

>The images on the remote machine (running Terminal Server) look lousy, especially photographs. I suspect Windows Terminal Server, and I suspect the color depth is automatically downsized to save bandwidth. When connecting, I set an option to use 24-bit color - just temporarily, since I don't have a good bandwidth - to no avail. Is there some other relevant option? Or should the greater color depth be enabled on the server side, on Windows Terminal Server?
