Believe or not I found a article that relsoves the Black Screen for VNC
and RDC
To resolve this issue turn off "bitmap caching" on the Experience tab of
the Remote Desktop Connection properties. This option is enabled by
default for all connection speeds and will cause this problem from
certain remote clients. I do not know what causes this problem, but this
is the way to solve it.
I realize this is a application issue but I'm the firewall admin and
when things don't work the application people blame the network admins.
I hope above info is useful
Thanks Roger.

Subject: Sidewinder and Remote Desktop Connection Microsoft ?
I'm wondering if anyone experiences intermittent connection problems
using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection
running through a Sidewinder and Cisco Pix.
If the connection is made it works great.
Its like the session doesn't release and you get a black screen the next
time you connect.
I know I know we should be using VNC or something more robust, hey I do
not make those descions.
Any help or Ideas would be great.
Thanks Roger.
