I use this nearly every day:

-----------------------------
#!/bin/sh

rdesktop -u '<USERNAME>' -d '<DOMAIN>' -f -T 'Windows XP' -a 24 -P -x l <IP>
-----------------------------

A few of the options explained:

-f : Run in full screen mode
-T 'Windows XP' : Display this string in the title bar, when minimized
-a 24 : Use 24-bit color depth (much prettier... need to use XP, though, and
better be on a high speed connection)
-P : Enable bitmap caching
-x l : Enable the [l]an profile which displays everything as if you logged in
via the console
