This is not just an unproven theory, this is pretty much assured. (There might be some non-standard AP setups that could handle this) For any number of laptops greater than 20, we recommend that they be registered with a school (presence) server, so that they don't use salut (clique). This is REALLY true when using active antennas, but still true when using access points. wad > On Fri, 2008-05-02 at 07:48 +0545, Bryan Berry wrote: >>> This, or the laptops will have to remain in English.
