- A good set of products for learning LANs, and also CD-ROM networks, is Ziff
- Computer Library series on CD-ROM. Computer Select has articles from hundreds of
- magazines (including LAN Times) which are easy to find by topic. Support on
- Site has information on products and specifics on handling problems, or how to
- do things. Perhaps
- the best for what you are looking for would be Techs. It is especially for
- networks and has dozens of articles on Novell. The standalone subscription
- price (12 issues/yr) for each of these CD-ROMs is $995. The network version is
- $4995. We currentl
- y use Computer Select and have found it well worth the expense.
