1)Telco Research: Enterprise Network Accounting White Paper
**********************************************************
In addition to emphasizing availability and uptime, network managers
are increasingly stipulating the need to manage the financial impact
of the network. And in response to this growing demand network component
manufacturers, network management vendors, and others are partnering
to develop and deliver management solutions that focus on network
accounting. The overall benefit will be a view of network expense by
end-user and department, leading to better cost control and cost
reduction. This will give network managers the ability to reassess cost
and requirements for managing new technologies before they are
implemented. Learn more about this important new network management
methodology by reading a white paper by Telco Research on Enterprise
Network Accounting at:

2) AT&T faces T-1 line shortage and other top news
**************************************************
Users beware: The seams on AT&T's overtaxed network are ready to
burst. AT&T officials last week confirmed that high traffic
demands have used up the capacity on some of the company's
switches and transport routes, and the carrier is now delaying
orders for T-1 access lines in many parts of the country.

Feds to breathe life into flagging EC effort
The Clinton administration next month will try to revive the
government's barely breathing electronic commerce strategy. On
the fifth anniversary of the National Performance Review, the
fed's effort to push its agencies into electronic commerce and
improve how services are delivered to citizens, the government is
likely to bet on Web-based forms, digital signatures and
electronic catalogs as the underpinnings for its new plan.

managers quickly asked for it to be resealed. Read how this and
other companies are dealing with potentially objectionable
