For the building in question, we're talking: 7 to 8 PCs (Win flavors). 1 server (Debian Linux) Off another card of the server, will be a wired 12-16 Win machine network, probably on a different subnet. There may at some point, also be a DSL link, on a third server card. The longest distance to

What about non-802.11 wireless technologies? Is anyone using something else, and if so: what are you getting? I'm debating building a network of wireless machines for a small school, where wired is impractical. Luke On Tue, 9 Sep 2003, Daniel Pittman wrote: > On Mon, 8 Sep 2003, tvn wrote: >
