Boise State has maxed out all of the wiring we put in when remodeling the 
building in 94.  We put in "all we'd ever need".  Yeah, right.  We expect 
to put in wireless next year, RF, not IR.  It is used a number of other 
places on campus.  In addition, some students are getting RF network cards 
in laptops, so we'll probably add some facility for them, too.  We 
currently have some 74 net jacks with DHCP connections for students with 
laptops and net cards.
