Thanks Mark. Re #2, yes, I want to insrall PF but just use the registration function for now. I see the guide talks about minimum hardware requirements. How can I determine what hardware specs I need based on how many users/nodes are on the network? Is there a rule of thumb like "this much ram and hard drive space per user/node"? Thx, Jeremy
