Yes and no. Windows Terminal Server is Citrix's Multiwin (the server side
of the solution) and Microsoft's RDP protocol. It is meant to only work
with Windows clients or RDP based thin clients, but (as mentioned already)
you can use rDesktop (http://www.rdesktop.org/) to connect to Windows
Terminal Server.
ICA is only user withe Citrix add on to Windows Terminal Server.
