Nothing Windows only in this.  It is standard WPA-2 Enterprise with Radius
Authentication.  Interestingly enough, Windows takes some masaging to make
it work as MS-CHAP is just plain broken.  BUt the neededinformation is
readily available.  But the Mac has, up to this point been unable to play
at all. (Actually, I know it can, as I have two grad students using Macs
with the new system but even they have been unable to get the professor's
Mac to play.  Guess all Macs are not created equal.
Or maybe some are just more equal than others.
