We have been with Nortel since Baynetworks and even back to SynOptics and Wellfleet. Anyway, I digress, having evaluated the options we recently decided to expand our WLAN using Cisco 1200's. Nortel still seems to be a fringe player in wireless. Be sure you get the security and price, comparable...
We have a server running Red Hat 8.0 which we use as a file and print server for our small group. I also use an NT domain password to authenticate to the corp domain so I assign the Linux box the same password and user name with a LC "i" in front of it. I have used SSH to change my...
