[clug] ANU Lecture Recordings

[David Howe]

I use Firefox without too many problems to get to the streaming server, 
real player works too as it should. The server does seem a little 
flakey, I have had session timeouts when connecting but generally it 
works. Some lectures are also posted as mp3 and are available in 
something like iTunes, but that depends on the lecturer.
