Review:
[soap...] A "little black book" is, of course, a reference to a phone book, or list: some means of looking up contact information for a specific individual, or a select group. New users on the Internet always want to know how to find other people, and Internet guides always have to answer the question the same way: there is *no* directory of Internet users. They then go on to explain the partial and limited tools for attempting to access Internet contact information: finger, whois, X.500, knowbot and the like. Often the White Pages of Performance Systems International (PSI) rates a mention. I have to search for rather a lot of names, since I try to send a draft of each review to the author and/or publisher--if I can find an addres... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Despite the explosion of online use in companies around the world, many corporate officials remain befuddled by the technology and its possibilities.

Review:
Goodman, in the Preface, inveighs against the sensational, incomplete, and misleading accounts of the "Information Superhighway" in the popular media. Then, in the first paragraph of chapter one, he states that if you could hear digital signals you would somehow have an understanding of this coming technology. I've often listened to digital signals. They sound like Beethoven's Ninth Symphony (on CD-ROM), nothing (the speeds of modern computers render even the hiss of interference inaudibly above the range of human hearing), or static (when listening in on modem "conversations"). While it may be fun (my wife has determined that the negotiation of a V.32bis/V.42bis modem calling a V.32 modem with LAP-M error correction and non-MNP data ...

Review:
This is a broad ranging and general introduction to the topic of computer security. It provides a good overview for those not familiar with the myriad aspects of security. In a situation where data reliability and confidentiality are not rigorous concerns, it should be quite sufficient for the manager wanting a summary of the topic. It doesn't add much to a number of other books which cover the field in a similar way. Kane's "PC Security and Virus Protection" , by the same publisher, is more practical. The title is a bit misleading in that few of the topics addressed are specific to LAN protection. While we are assured that Dutton is a security professional, in the sense of getting paid for such advice, the lack of detail and a nu... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
While LANtastic has made a name as a simple, minimally intrusive, peer-to-peer network for sharing disks and printers, its documentation has become increasingly complex. This book can serve as a reminder of the various command and function options. For basic commands, this may be enough: for more advanced items, it can serve as an introduction to the correct section of the program documentation. The book is divided into three sections: User, System Manager, and Installer. The last is a bit brief, being merely a listing of ArtiSoft network interface card settings, and the command-line switches and options for the basic network drivers. The lack of any mention of NDIS is unfortunate. Ironically, the author seems to be extremely pr... Rest of this review on the detail page
