Sarah,

Sorry I missed you this morning.  We are doing faculty reviews which
was the reason my door was closed.

Good question.  Most of our wired-network connections are
100 baseT (100Mbit/sec) while most of our wireless connections are
802.11g (54Mbit/sec).  The backbone sections of our network
are 1000Mbit/set.
