We have a standard list (working towards an RFP) of needs/it'd-be-nice/wants dealing with WIFI compliancy, POE, authentication, management etc. etc. but I was wondering if anyone who has gone through this might be able to offer other not-so-obvious things to look for. Ideally, if someone had a list of what they looked for and wish to share....that would be excellent. ..........thanks in advance................J James Savage York University Senior Communications Tech. 108 Steacie Building jsav...@yorku.ca 4700 Keele Street ph: 416-736-2100 ext. 22605 Toronto, Ontario fax: 416-736-5701 M3J 1P3, CANADA ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
