- I'm using AppleTalk in a middle school science classroom with 16 LC IIs,
- an LC, an SE, a IIci AppleShare Server,a Laserwriter, and 4
- Imagewriters. Students (using the 16 LC IIs) share data by sending files
- and messages (via HyperCard) to each other. Whenever more than a few
- students start sharing data, things become a mess: I'd estimate that
- maybe a quarter of the messages never get through . My question: is this
- normal? Are we overloading the network? It seems to me that it ought to
- be able to handle this much stuff, though I wouldn't expect it to be
- terribly fast. Has anybody else done this kind of thing?
