It is possible with additional software. Citirx Metaframe is an add-on to Windows 
Terminal Services (for NT4 Terminal Server or W2K with Terminal Services installed). 
It uses its own protocol (ICA) rather than Microsoft's RDP protocol for remote control 
of a Windows session. Citrix provides free (as in beer) ICA clients for most operating 
systems, including Linux. You can get more information at www.citrix.com.

Metaframe is a rather expensive piece of software, but it adds so much functionality 
to Windows Terminal Services that it I wouldn't think of deploying Terminal Server 
without it except for small installations only to Windows clients.

I've seen some TS clients for X but they were commercial.

However, a new app launch scolled by on my news ticker that might get you
closer and it's called "xwinx".  It runs on the Win32 desktop and sends
screen updates straight to your X server.  It's appeal seems to be that it's
just an app that sends updates, no client or additional servers required.
