Re: CampusMgr with an Apple!

Hello all!

I was working with Dave at Proctor today.

After we installed a couple of browsers (Mozilla, Chimera) and the MJR
plugin we had some mixed results.

Mozilla - Seemed to be kind of buggy. Not all text was shown in the
widgets( Tab folders, Blank Menus), No grid in the client or event view.
Also in the Network Summary view all numbers for devices, ports and
clients was zero. I don't think we could get the Network Connection view
of device to display.

Chimera - This browser also had a few problems but was much cleaner than
that of the Mozilla implementation. The main problems I noticed were:
The network summary view also showed zero for devices, clients and
Ports. The network connection views seemed to display fine but double
clicking on port did not bring up the port details view. You need to use
the Right mouse button menu to launch the views. The Event and Client
Views looked and responded much better with this browser. The only other
noticeable problem was with some of the menus. They seemed to be offset
from the base widget.

We did not try Netscape 7.

Dave, please add or correct anything that I said.
