Install webex client application prior to a meeting

Having needed to join a webex meeting, I duly logged in just proir to the meeting, and found that the meeting was not yet in progress. A minute before the meeting, I was prompted to log in.


As expected, a download was needed for the webex windows client. Although it downloaded automatically after I was able to click on join meeting, it took some time to install and I was late for the meeting.


There didn't seem to be anything on the webex site to be able to directly download the webex client. Their "join meeting tips" page indicated that I needed to download "meeting manager" and the link took me to the downloads page. None of the items on the download page was meeting manager or anything to do with installing the webex client.


Further Google searching led me to http://www.webex.com/lp/jointest/. All thats needed is a name and email address and the client downloads and installing fine. I'll be doing this prior to any future meetings I'm going to attend. 


To enable a better user experience, I think webex needs to do a check if the client is installed when you land on the join a meeting page. It should then prompt you to install the webex application. GoTo Meeting does this, so can't be too difficult to do.

3com driver support

HP had bought 3com in 2010 and effectively seem to have wiped out the 3com name.


Google searches for "3com drivers" and similar turn up websites that provide links to drivers which I am loath to download as you never know what else they may contain. On HP's own site trying to find anything 3com is painful.


Then I tried a Google search for "official 3com drivers". I found this part of the HP site that will provide the HP eqivalent of the 3com driver, http://h17007.www1.hp.com/us/en/support/converter/index.aspx.


I was looking for the driver for a 3crpag175b and found the "HP 802.11a/g XJack Wireless Client PC Card" driver which works perfectly. Direct link to the driver download page is http://h17007.www1.hp.com/us/en/support/converter/index.aspx?productNum=3CRPAG175B
