Re: [school-discuss] Wireless network ambulance for classrooms w/o wired network connectivity

[Daniel Howard <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was my thinking, especially since we were going to have print servers 
in each class, also connected to the router.  I also believe in most cases, 
we'll be able to use 802.11g, hence the bandwidth issue may not 
surface.  For longer distance links, we can either use higher gain antennas 
to get the bandwidth, or consider the FreeNX solution.  Thanks again to all 
for the insights on issues relating to wireless links with thin client 
networks.  Daniel
