John,
I am sure 20 laptops will melt down a channel currently. But in this case,
the 20 are already turned on and running salut, right?
My point is:
If you turn on one laptop running salut (it is the only one turned on for a
while) can it connect to a school server (even while running salut)? If
Ricardo,
That is the current situation, and the chatter generated by Salut
multiplied by mesh multicast
really does prevent laptops from connecting through gabble. We did
a recent test here where
