[K12OSN] nfs traffic monitoring

[Kemp, Levi]

Barry,
	Are you not using the RenPlace Software for AR and Math? I was
able to login to both using just firefox on linux. If you aren't but are
able to use wine elsewhere I don't see a good reason to log into a
windows terminal unless you have other unsupported apps. The only part
of RenPlace that doesn't work under linux is the special print plugin,
but you wouldn't know it because it automatically opens up the document
to be printed as a pdf, then you can save or print.
