4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference for installation and design
This book delves into the latest application for Novell, and does it fairly well. It does leave one wanting on the topic of Virtual Private Networks and Network Address Translation. Overall, a very good book. Used it personally in designing several BorderManager deployments.

A must have for the corporate Internet engineer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too involved with slagging off Microsoft
The author of this book seems to be preoccupied with attacking Microsoft and NT than he is with providing assistance with BorderManager. The book is very shallow regarding BorderManager and provides little in the way of technical assistance. Don't waste your money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Discusses BorderManager instead of providing real assistance, August 24, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Intranetware BorderManager (Hardcover)
Gaskin provides an enjoyable description of BorderManager, but does not provide much useful assistance for designing, installing, configuring, or troubleshooting. Since this book suffers from the same problems as the manuals that come with BorderManager, it does not solve most of the problems that BorderManager administrators will encounter. Instead, try Novell's Guide to BorderManager (Stevens & Marymee), or buy the Manual for Novell course 770, "Securing Intranets with BorderManager." The latter book is pricey, but gives good step-by-step installation instructions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Falls short, October 14, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Intranetware BorderManager (Hardcover)
This book seems to lack focus. It wanders from basics of TCP/IP to web servers to (even)Sidekick. Seems that his book was put toghther with Border Manager as an afterthought. Novell's book is a little more focused but still lacking.
