School internet restricted to XOs in Uruguay

2010-01-14 Thread Daniel Drake
Apparently, in Uruguayan schools, the wireless networks are setup so that only XOs can go online. Other computers that connect won't be able to use the internet (or perhaps aren't able to connect at all?) Does anyone have details of the implementation? cheers, Daniel _
