Use the Wyse Terminal on shows 8 bits display when using RDP

The Wyse terminal that I have supports 16 bit display and you can configure it and it has a test button and it works locally on the Wyse box.  However when you RDP into a server it only shows 8 bit display.  I have tried it on several servers and when using a PC it supports up to 24 bit and works fine.  I can only get the Wyse to pickup 8 bits and I need to have it with 16 bits since some applications are not compatible with 8 bits.

What kind of servers are you connecting to? Windows 2000 TS supports 8-bit color only. 2003 TS goes up to 24-bit.

we are connect to a window 2003 server...  The only thing I can think of is maybe the RDP plug in, which is ver. 5.0 doesn't support it??  
I have not received any positive feedback on this question... Does anyone have a clue on this??
