Re: [K12OSN] Microsoft Terminal Services

["Rita Gibson" <rgibson57 earthlink net>]

The district is fairly unreasonable re anyone doing anything different than
what they specify. Is there any justifiable reason that they would not allow
us to access Terminal Services via Rdesktop? (If we gave two licenses, then
two people can connect at once, but if we want five people to be able to
connect at once, then we need five licenses.)

Thanks,

Rita Gibson
