Hi Jane,
Erick Woods is the author of this public domain software. I can't speak for
him, but I'm sure that he'd be interested in the usefulness that his
software is providing in your efforts. I am also sure that your team working
on the EdUbuntu package would also find this package, "Terminal Server
Client" useful in their efforts for Thin/Thick/Fat clients.

Thanks for the efforts of your people in looking into this. I feel that this
client provides universal client connections to servers and is the simple
model needed for education personnel to allow simple connections of students
to servers without a lot of time spent in learning specialized client
applications.

Thanks again.....George
