Yes, one user at a time is the limit for RDP.  It's interesting that you
must specify the port number.  3389 is the default for RDP.

Yup, that's one of the reasons that RDP is clunky.

I'm curios...were you running rdesktop from the command line or via
the GUI?  If it's the GUI, then yes, it wouldn't know to use 3389.
RDP is on port 3389, VNC is on port 5900.
