This is exactly right, Citrix bought NTRIGUE from Insignia Solutions.
"UIS" is, in essence, NTRIGUE ported to Terminal Server, adding X11
support along with RDP and ICA. "Wincenter for Metaframe" is exactly the
same product sold under a different name by NCD. Due to the agreement
between Citrix and Microsoft, NCD was prohibited from shipping their own
"Wincenter" product.

HOBLink is actually pretty good. You can download a trial version from
http://www.hob.de/www_us/home.htm

What you get is a Java based RDP client and the option to download an
improved JVM. While this client will not have features such as local
drive re-direction, published apps, etc, it will allow RDP session
access from any Java enabled device with good performance.
