#Avoid student cheating?
Message #97663
Hey there, stranger! What elastics? All there was left of their shorts were puffs of smoke! I'd barely touched on Designer and was thinking of it as "just another add-on" – no criticism implied, but most extensions are add-ons intended for a specific target group – but with Designer, that…
Hi Bill! I'm going to be at RBSS for Saturday, but have another meeting in Maple Ridge on the Friday. I've been working with BCTel on the fibre and other connections for over a year now. We are making progress, but I need committment from other segments of the community…
Hi Pat! I'll send you the batch file later, but I think you will need a bit of ammo for the network administrator concept first. I'm responsible for five different networks – at four different sites. I'm the direct administrator for two networks and advise on three others. We have…

Hi Pat! I think I'll just reiterate what KenF said – go with Novell (3.11 is fine) – even if you do go NT, Novell makes it better. I have used/abused Lantastic and AIX – I like Novell. As stated, 10baseT is superb, but keep to Category 5. We use…
