Hi:

Unfortunately, I don't really understand it myself, so I probably won't be able 
to help you understand it.  But anyway, the way it was explained to me is that 
it's a security issue.  They consider the computer a security risk, so they 
won't permit you to do it through the computers.

Not that I would understand it, but What?  "NLS doesn't want access with the 
computers?"  Do you mean they don't want you to have access, or they don't 
really want us to?
