Chuck Harris report on 11 subsidized ports in Math 306
Chuck met with Guy Shepard and determined that the 11 active ports are used in the following manner:
1 wireless access point
2 printers
8 open ports
The room is equipped with a large touch presentation screen and notebook computers are locked down on central tables for student use. The notebook computers generally use the WAP for their connection.

Guy, the need to connect to the 8 available ports is frequent.
