Before anybody gets excited, I'm just curious - not looking to hire. What are some of the IT consulting companies in Tucson that do custom programming/services (not specifically Java)? Page 358 of the Qwest Yellow pages has list...but few with websites. Googling for the websites has produced mixe

Zeroconf (Apple's name for their version is Rendezvous(tm) ) I'm slightly fascinated with self-forming networks, especially adhoc wireless, but I didn't know what to do about local IP config without a DHCP server - seems I don't have to do anything due to Link Local address assignment. Big slap on
