[Coco] CoCoFEST! Internet Speed Improvements

[Patrick Ulland]

They also have better than average security – no MAC cloning a CoCo in 
place of a PC with authenticated browser. I’d drop a few clams and a 
pinky swear for our own little subnet during the show, guessing per 
session authentication is also our bandwidth issue and a show-wide 
connect firewalled from the hotel is the fix. I could just be a moron, 
either way will help pay to make it better.
