I suspect the authors have tried to make this book do too many things
for too many people.  The result is an acceptable basic Internet guide
"bulked out" with sections that don't work.

Part one provides a background to the Internet, and a very simplified
introduction to the standard applications.  An interesting feature is
a chapter on setting up and configuring a modem.  Unfortunately, while
this provides much better information to the novice than many "big
name" modem reference books, it still falls short of what the new user
needs.  Throughout this first section, there are odd intrusions, such
as tables of ISO country codes, which may confuse the neophyte.

Part two looks at the net from the viewpoint of the provider.  This
is, though, a philosophical and limited overview, touching more on the
public school system, acceptable use policies, and sample designs,
than on the practicalities of bandwidth and security.  Part three
lists varied Internet resources for public policy and education.  A
set of appendices contains essays on philosophy and culture, plus the
Hobbes' Internet Timelist, a list of MUDs, and a list of ftp archive
sites.

The book also contains access software for Netcom, and the Chameleon
SLIP
software sampler.

        ***** NEW SCHEDULE AND LOCATIONS *****

The only educational seminar to focus on Wireless Business Telephone
Systems.

A comprehensive, two day seminar for telecommunications professionals
who need to understand the applications, benefits and limitations of:

            ON-PREMISES PCS
             WIRELESS PBXs
         IN-BUILDING CELLULAR SYSTEMS

New wireless communications systems are expected to bring about the
most fundamental change in business communications since the
introduction of the electromechanical telephone system. Nearly every
provider of PBX, Centrex, Key system, Cellular and PCS systems and
services is expected to offer a wireless telephone system to address
business user's need for wireless communications.

Yet continuing changes and differences in spectrum choices, RF
technology, and architectural implementation will challenge a vendor's
ability to satisfy their customer's price and performance
requirements. Telecommunications managers will also need to evaluate
and understand the wireless needs of their users, the strengths and
weaknesses of various wireless systems and select the optimum wireless
solution.

This seminar has been designed to help both vendors and users make the
right business decisions about wireless telephone systems. Whether you
need to better understand the wireless needs and applications of your
customers or develop a strategy to justify the purchase of a system,
the seminar will prepare you for the most fundamental change in
business communications systems.

AT THIS SEMINAR YOU WILL LEARN:

>  Why these new systems will usher in the era of Personal
   Communications Services.

>  How these systems can:

     Increase productivity, revenue, customer and employee
       satisfaction;
     Improve access to existing communications systems and
       networks;
     Reduce wiring costs and problems.

>  What barriers exist to penetrating the installed base of 65
   million on-premises business telephones.

>  How quickly the market for these systems will grow. How
   quickly price per user will decline.

>  Why leading end-user business organizations have purchased
   these systems. How they use them. How they have benefited
   from them.

>  What are the differences, advantages and limitations of:

     Part 15 Subpart C, Cellular and Unlicensed PCS spectrum;
     Single Cell/Single User, Single Cell/Multi User, and
       Multi Cell/Multi User architectures;
     Adjunct and integrated implementations;
     Host and Network controlled operation.

>  What strategies PBX, Centrex, Cellular and PCS suppliers
   will employ to capture this market.

>  How to use traffic engineering principles to evaluate,
   select and plan a system.

papers
   typewritten without drawing and tables) are due to arrive in
quadruplicate
   at the European Simulation Office May 15th, 1995.
   Only original Papers, written in English, which have not previously
been
   published elsewhere will be accepted. In case you want to organize a
panel
   discussion, please contact the Program Chairmen.
   Authors are expected to register early (at a reduced fee) and to
attend the
   Conference at their own expense to present the accepted papers. If
early
   registration and payment are not made, the paper will not be
published in
   the Conference Proceedings. In the case of multiple authors, one
author
   should be identified as the person who will act as the correspondent
for
   the paper.

   Abstracts will be reviewed by three members of the International
Program
   Committee for full papers and one member for short papers.
Notification of
   acceptance or rejection will be sent by June 15, 1995.
   An author kit with complete instructions for preparing a camera-ready
copy
   for the Proceedings will be sent to authors of accepted abstracts.
The
   camera-ready copy of the papers must be in by August 31, 1995. Only
the
full
   papers, which are expected to be five pages long, will be published
in the
   Conference Proceedings. In order to guarantee a high-quality
Conference,
the
   full papers will be reviewed as well, to check whether the
suggestions of
   the program committee have been incorporated. The nominees for the
best
   paper awards will be selected as well.

I am trying to find information on cabling equipment for use in the
home. I would like to run cat-5 4-pair (TIA-568A?) to each of 4
bedrooms, a study, and the basement.

Are there distribution systems available that cater to such small
scale use?  I would like to patch, on an individual basis, up to 2
phone lines to each room, with the capabilities to expand to 4 lines
in the future.  I would also like to patch, also individually, up to 2
10BASE-T connections to each room.

Also, while I'm doing all this snaking, I might run COAX to each room
as well.  This would be initially for cable hook-up, but If I could
get a coaxial patch system, it might be fun to be able to share VCR's
etc..

Can anyone help me out?


Thanks,

Bob Cas ([e-mail])

Hello!

I am departing next month for the formerly Soviet Central Asian
Republic of Kyrgyzstan for a one-year stint to expand computer network
access among scholars, non-commercial civic groups and other members
of the Republic's "informationally disenfranchised." My job will be
to teach the virtues of networking to non-technical types: historians,
linguists, librarians, local government officials, non-governmental
organization activists, ecologists, etc. I will implement public
access e-mail stations and develop Internet host sites with the
objective of attaining full Internet access for Kyrgyzstan.

I would like to see if their are any Internet gurus out there who would
be interested in rendering me periodic assistance via e-mail. I will
have numerous practical questions on how to configure and assemble
networks under rather harsh conditions. It will be a great adventure
with a very noble goal and I would love to have your participation!

If you are a dedicated and interested "Net-head," I would welcome your
e-mail message at <[e-mail]> until May 28, 1995. I will
thank you, record your e-mail address and then get back to you from
Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan with questions and periodic progress reports.


Thanks, folks!

Just for grins I called the ATM locator service for Cirrus, Exchange,
and Plus networks.  They work by having the caller enter the area code
and exchange of a phone number.  None of them recognize the NXX format
area codes.  Yet they kept up with area code splits very well in the
past.  I worked in New Jersey in 1990 when 908 split from 201.  Early
in the permissive dialing period, entering 908-615 gave me a list of
ATMs in Middletown.
