Review:
Aside from the change of name, this is very little altered from the earlier "Ethernet Pocket Guide" . As the subtitle says, this is "For designing, installing and troubleshooting your ethernet network." The book (almost a booklet) is quite practical, although some decisions regarding what to include and what to leave out are a bit odd. Chapter 1 is an introduction to Ethernet, and the standards around it. The description covers the various aspects of Ethernet operation and definition. The picture painted of "Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection" (CSMA/CD) will be clear to any intelligent reader. On the other hand, the detail given of the ISO OSI model is difficult to understand, since it is never referred to again. An... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
This little book begins with a big claim: the city is dead, and cyberspace killed it. But Mitchell, it turns out, is too intelligent an observer to really mean anything quite so drastic. Despite his weakness for bold, catchy statements (and it is a weakness), this MIT architecture professor has both feet planted in the long and much-studied history of urban spaces, and he draws from it a pragmatic optimism that keeps his argument both hopeful and nuanced. His real thesis: Under cyberspace's influence, the city is changing, no more or less radically than it did under the influence of postal systems, electricity, and cars. And if we ride the new changes carefully, he insists, the places we live and work in can become "e-topias--lean, green ci... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Since the publication of "The BBS Construction Kit" , Wolfe has kept some of his views, changed others, and added more. He now, though, more strongly identifies opinions as such, and is more inclined to provide reasons. The result is that this work is still useful, but is much more good- humored. As with his prior work, this guide is eminently practical. It even starts with an in-depth overview of batch files, and the COMMAND.COM replacement 4DOS. Wolfe then proceeds to cover advanced modem and port information, fax capability, fossil drivers, doors (BBS add-on programs), graphics, CD-ROM, QWK, and Internet connectivity. The discussion of ports was the only disappointment, still failing to cover the addition of more than two modems... Rest of this review on the detail page
