3.0 out of 5 stars Quite good, but a few typos here and there, August 30, 2001

This review is from: Dictionary of Internetworking Terms and Acronyms (Cisco Press Core Series) (Paperback)

This book would turn out to be a great book without the TYPOS... It has extensive coverage on ATM, Frame Relay and other telecommunication-only terms... Many "NEW" Terms and Acronyms are included for example 3G Mobile stuff... which isnt much of a surprise since it was first published in January 2001...
My advice? wait for the Second Edition.

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Dictionary of Internetworking Terms and Acronyms (Cisco Press Core Series) (Paperback)

This book is a handy reference manual to have around. With over 400 pages of terms, the information is a surface type of format, only giving the basic amount necessary.

From A to Z there are terms like ANSI, CDR, ELAN, ISDN, MUX, NAM, POTS, SMB, UDP and XID. Also there is a section strictly devoted to Cisco terms from CID, CNSI, EIRGP, FSIP, ISL, SDLC, TRIP and IRGP are but as few of the terms.

There could be a whole lot more added to this book including pictures of some things, a cd rom with an e-version of the book. Overall the value may not be worth the price.

1.0 out of 5 stars For your mom, maybe!, August 13, 2001

This review is from: Dictionary of Internetworking Terms and Acronyms (Cisco Press Core Series) (Paperback)

This book has failed to define anything useful for me. It has very few terms for the number of pages, and the two sentence long definitions seem to be written for people outside of the computer industry. Not helpful at all.
