Introduction to Data Communications for Linux Users” is now
on-line at
http://www.cadvision.com/blanchas/linux
It is about 2/3s of the way transferred over from Pagemaker
(aaagh!) and currently consists of over 200 pages and 300 images.
The final total should be close to 350 pages and 500 images.
This is revision 2.00 of my book which covers everything about
networking and data communications except for Linux. You can
consider it equivalent of the Net+ course or the network essentials
of the MSCE and CNE certifications. Topics covered are OSI Model,
The Big Picture, ADSL, Wave Modems, ISDN, Frame relay, X.25,
modems, modulation, telephony, FDM, TDM, STDM, QAM, FDSK, AM, FM,
RS-232, Xon/Xoff, null modems, asynchronous and synchronous
communications, line encoding, ethernet, token ring, NICs, PC
hardware, repeaters, hubs, bridges, routers, brouters, gateways,
TCP/IP, packet sniffing, etc…
It’s taken 6 years to write and was written based on course
material and research required for programs that I taught at the
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. Any publishers out there
interested in publishing this?
