I was feeding a farm that peaked at about 25 systems with SetiQueue from
the one system used for dialin. The self-queueing of BOINC doesn't do

True, unless you can set up the connected system as a proxy. Sorry, I
didn't consider that situation. BOINC requires the computer that does
the work to upload & download as well. You can work around it to some
extent, assuming the computers in the farm are more or less identical,
but it means a lot of tedious starting & stopping, enabling & disabling
access, copying folders (and keeping track of the copies), and whatnot,
from the connected system.
