Hi All,
I havent piped up about O@H yet, but i have a technical "in". My Fiance
works there in the techincal arena.
With O@H you dont need the little login script jobbie like you do with
BPA, it uses your machine name and MAC address of the ethernet card for
authentication. Thats why you need to use their card.
Just thought Id clean that up.
