Adding those two entries to allow popups is not about whether a web 
application *should* use popups.  It is about making a browser 
configuration that works in the most friendly way for the user.  
dhcp.msu.edu and vpn.msu.edu both trigger popups that disappear by 
themselves, but when blocked generate warning messages in the browser.  
Wireless login (at least on the old MSUnet AP's that we have at KBS) 
triggers a popup that provides a logout button, which can be useful when 
you are dealing with old AP's.  There are other pages at MSU that have 
popups, but I don't remember all of them.  I have not noticed popups in 
EBS, just new browser windows.
