rdesktop colors
Is it possible to increase the amount of colors to more than the 256 displayed via rdesktop? The server is running Windows 2003.

Did you have a look at the man pages? ie man rdesktop
Code:
-a <bpp>
Sets the colour depth for the connection (8, 15, 16 or 24). More than 8 bpp are only supported when connecting to Windows XP (up to 16 bpp) or newer.
Note that the colour depth may also be limited by the server
configuration.

Ahh
Then you are running version 1.2.0 of rdesktop and need version 1.3.0. It is on Knoppix V3.3-2003-11-19 so you'll need to get yourself a copy or remaster your CD.
If you are on dialup or can't get the latest knoppix try a small live CD like Pxes.
Other small bootable biz-card CDs like Feather, Pilot etc may have rdesktop 1.3.0 too.
