OK, so an update on the network issues.
Friday afternoon, our e-mail server blew a motherboard. This computer had also been doing the network address translation and port forwarding, and was pretty old, as the original firewall and mailserver system were installed over 20 years ago although had been upgraded piecemeal from time to time. The IT guys came in and patched around, using a more modern router for the firewall. In the process, everyone was hard-wired in all the rooms that were already plumbed for Ethernet, and the print drivers were moved to the individual workstations and off the server. This has resulted in an amazing speed increase in printing and imported items retrieval time, even for those units previously hard wired, well over 10 times. The Gigabit switches are on order, but not yet installed. Also, we will arrange to drop in Ethernet cable to the 4 exam rooms not already plumbed.
