All, this month's Network Magazine features the last mile in a trilogy of articles by Steve Steinke, Elizabeth Clark and Jonathan Angel. I briefly had the pleasure of doing some WAN editorial and SONET article authoring for this pub, working with both Steinke and Clark in the past (never had the pleasure of "meeting" Angel) back when the publication was called LAN Magazine (1996). Since that time, the mag has expanded its scope to the landscape that faces us today in the broader sense, as you will witness below. I think that you will enjoy the content and style of these articles, and you'll find them appropriate as well as timely for this thread. Although, as perusers and veterans of this thread, you may come to some different conclusions on some of the issues raised, as I have in spots. [smiles] In order to view these you will need to do a free registration as an online subscriber, if you haven't already. It is well worth the couple of minutes that it takes, not only for this collection of works, but for to its value as a standing resource, as well. Of particular interest for some, there is an extraordinary tutorial section at this site which is written in easy-to-read language, covering many of the fundamentals of the issues discussed both here and elsewhere on these boards.
