Thanks Terrell I get it now. Still bringing in a laptop+switch and
connecting it all isn't likely to happen with a teacher in the room. I
still feel safe using direct X. And let me remind people that if
teachers use the server itself as a workstation this kind of sniffing
will NOT work. It could only work for other thin clients.
