I'm thinking "indirectly" just means they aren't at the console. But I'm on the 
slow bus and trying to figure out the change...though is the per user licensing 
enforced yet in 2008 or is it still on the honor system?

Indirectly: Firewall and NAT?

i haven't had my coffee yet and I am still a little slow, but how do you 
"indirectly" access a terminal server?

I keep waiting for them to license anyone who "thinks" about connecting.

Microsoft licensing policies for Windows Server Terminal Services, including 
the new components that are included in Windows Server 2008, require that in 
addition to a Windows Server Client Access License (CAL), Microsoft(r) Core CAL 
Suite, or Microsoft Enterprise CAL Suite, you must acquire a Windows Server 
2008 TS CAL for each user or device that directly or indirectly accesses the 
server software to interact with a remote graphical user interface (using the 
Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services functionality or other technology).
