Can you tell us a little more about your application's architecture?
For example:
- When the student uses a module, does the module stack already exist
on his computer, or is it downloaded from the server each time it's
used?
- Where are the answers supposed to be stored? In a single stack on
the server, or...? How are the answers supposed to get there?
This will help us better understand the context of the problem. Then
we can be ignorant at a deeper level! ;o)
Thanks,

What kind of server? What kind of client computers? Can all 32
computers simultaneously use the network okay otherwise?
