  I work in a Mac Lab here at UCSC, and we are running Farallon Phone Net on
a mere 8 macintoshes and 1 LW and 1 IWII.  So far, the biggest problem we
have come into is the file server (tops I think) is connected to a Sun in
the basement of our building, and it tends to slow down after a while.

  Actually, I have a few questions for you all:  A while back someone asked
about security measures for a LW, and several alternatives were offered in
the way of having people pay for copies.  Can someone summarize and send
it to me?  Or, just answer this.  When someone comes into the lab, we request
they sign in, and give us their ID card.  This has proved to be a hassle, 
especially when they don't give it to us and sneak in when we aren't looking,
forget that they didn't give it to is, and want us to buy them a new one
when we don't have it in our drawer.  Anyway, we kidna want to get away from
this system.  What alternatives are there?  We charge .25 a page for the LW
and the IWII is free.   

  Another question:  Yesterday, the lab was really packed, and everyone
wanted to print and get to class in a hurry, well, it came time for one person
to print and the chooser said that the Imagewriter was not available....My
jaw dropped....Upon closer examination, somehow the Imagewriter driver had
been reduced from 31k to .5k  WHY?  I personally installed all of the disks
with the full 31k IW driver, and they worked fine till yesterday, when poof!

Thanks!

Scott
