Mac Viewer witn NT Server

Is it possible for a Mac viewer (without an extended keyboard) to send the
Ctrl-Alt-Delete sequence to an NT server?  I can do this fine on normal
desktop Macs with the Del key on the extended keyboard, however most Mac
PowerBooks don't have this key.  Instead, they simply have a Backspace key,
which doesn't seem to function as a replacement.

Has anyone found a workaround to this?  If not, please consider this a
request to add this functionality to the next version.

Thanks,
Alan

P. S. -- This is what I found in the FAQ, but it doesn't apply in this case:
