The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Getting Connected: The Internet at 56K and Up (Nutshell Handbook)':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
The title is ever so slightly misleading: it should probably read "Getting *Others* Connected". There is much more here than anyone would need to get a connection to the Internet for one account. The purpose is to get a business or organization onto the net, and to establish that nebulous entity which has become known as an Internet "presence". That minor quibble out of the way, this is a very serviceable and complete guide for those charged with linking an institution to the electronic global village. The concepts and overall requirements are covered, and backed up by just enough technical details to make the job possible. The tone of the text is practical and realistic. Dowd's (rather bizarre) sense of humour is used to good effect, keeping the material entertaining without getting in the way of the important content. Appendices on the more common Internet applications help you to assess how much Internet you will need and what you might use it for. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
