Hello all,
As has been mentioned previously, for tonight's meeting, we most likely
will not have an LCD projector.
As an alternative, we may attempt to use a "shared desktop" approach,
where multiple computers display the same desktop. The idea being, Paul

note that the thruput for 802.11b is hampered quite a bit by its
wireless overhead.
So the 11Mbs signalling rate does *not* mean it is faster than 10Mbs
ethernet. I did some ftp tests and checked the web, and it seem 11Mbs
maxes out at roughly 3-4 Mb/s of actual tcp data stream

I first decided to run a benchmark based on a comment that some of the 10/100 cards are really 10. The main difference is that the non-cardbus PCMCIA cards are 16 bit cards and the cardbus cards are 32 bit. I used the ttcp utility to perform my benchmarks. The benchmarks were all done using Lin
