grammar - Alternatives to use technical protocol terms as verb in a sentence

I would choose to use abstraction with the potential addition of "via" if clarity is needed.



Depending on with whom your are speaking, you audience my vary well not care about the underlying technology. in which case




I can RDP into your computer




Becomes




I can remotely connect to your computer.




Abstracting out the technological details will in most cases bridge the gap of communication between you and your potentially less knowledgeable audience.



However, if you need to specify the technology, consider the abstracted sentence followed by "via"




I can remotely connect to your computer via RDP.




I believe this makes your sentence more comprehensible, yet provides the requisite details.
