[K12OSN] RE SME Server Authentication

[Huck]

btw..Symbol Technologies(part of Motorola I think) have a wonderful 
wireless system that works great, I went overkill with the radios 
because I was thinking 'soho' not 'industrial' ;)  the 4 antennas I 
plugged in captured the entire city-block of the school...great for 
sporting events!  I had to 1/2 the output power on them!

This is through solid-pour concrete block as well.

just since you mentioned the lovelies who bring p-n-c waps from home ;)
