I understand that I am to use that URL just as it is, without substituting my 
username - right.

Got it ! 
Now,  when I invite myself using my kolab server email address, I see my 
free/busy without the hash marks !

Now, I'm about the only linux user around here, so I need to know how to set 
things up for Windows users as well. We have downloaded and installed  
Toltec™ Connector.  

Does anyone know how to accomplish the same thing (freebusy setup) over 
there ?

TIA.

How does the server generate freebusy lists  ?
How can it generate freebusy lists if I don't upload anything ?
