Appreciate all the suggestions.  Added the line above, but it appears that 
iP(hone|od Touch)s don't send that info.  I see some BlackBerrys but mostly 
it's "MSFT 5.0" (wasn't that W2K???).

With the end of the semester, the issues isn't nearly as noticeable.  We're 
making a change to the FWSM today that we hope will help, but I will likely 
need to beat on dhcpd with dhcperf in order to see the issue.

Gah!  I just saw "MSFT 98"!!!
