Thanks for the added info Richard.  I just tested and am able to log 4 clients 
in using
the nxclient and freenx on the server.  I assume this will scale to more but 
haven't
tried yet.  I still need to do some testing from off campus for speeds, but I'm 
pretty
excited at this point.

I have notice that fl_teachertool does not work over NX.  It seems to be this 
is because
the display fl_teachertool wants to export to does not match the display of the 
NX
session.  Thin Client Manager does however display, so in the future when that 
works out
of the box, it should be an option.  However TCM does not list the NX 
connections, so I
don't see a way to monitor/control/list NX connections yet in an easy manner.

I hope to do some testing over the next week, then roll this out to students 
and faculty
for working from home.

Thanks,
Jim
