Exactly! The point I had made was that the users are computer-illiterate bus operators in many cases and expecting some of them to provide info about connections, printer share names, etc. means a lot of talking them through it over the phone. Thus I was looking for something a little more transparent.

>What smoke?

Oh, I was just being American Indian, in the films, where they go to smoke a pipe to consider a concept :-)
