Yes, you are correct.  I was wrong saying that Win2k supports RDP 5.1.
It only supports 5.0 and below.

I asked a Citrix/Windows guru who sits next to me, and he says that
there is no publicly available RDP 5.1 server at this time.  It will be
included with Windows XP Server, but he doesn't know whether or not they
will release it in a Win2k service pack.
