Hi Tony,
Sorry for the delay, I've been on vacation.

I'd like to get you a copy of the IIAB dataset, or even one of our
network devices.  Things are currently in flux as we work towards the
XSCE integration.

As for integrating IIAB into a portal page, we have a solution for
that ready for XSCE.  Basically on the XSCE portal page, they run a
couple lines of Javascript which asynchonously invokes a WSGI call to
IIAB to determine whether an IIAB installation with dataset exists on
the local server, or on the network at large (via mdns).  If it
succeeds, a button for IIAB appears, otherwise it never appears.

The intention is that IIAB will be installed as a WSGI service on all
School Servers, and if the end user later plugs in a USB drive with
the IIAB dataset, or an IIAB network appliance, everything will "just
work".
