One of my German language teachers has asked me to make Real Audio 
Player available on our student network so that his students can 
access German and Austrian radio stations. Our Computing Services 
have asked me to establish that Real Audio Player can indeed be made 
available on our Novell network legally. Does anyone know whether we 
can we do so legitimately? Its use would indeed be, as the licence 
conditions specify, strictly "educational", since Computing Services 
are most keen to prevent the gobbling-up of bandwidth by students
listening to pop music while word-processing!

Thanks for any information / suggestions about alternatives. Need I 
say there is no budget for the purchase of any software?
