[OPLINTECH] Library Host Speedtest

[Eric Lochtefeld]

Yes, but the current Speedtest in Columbus isn't the best. And I've seen it
go down / off the grid in the past, not to mention how cool would it be if
it said Mercer Co Dist Library was the host?

You tried it? Did upload work for you? What kind of IIS was it hosted on?

Thanks,
Eric Lochtefeld
