About the Author

Sandy Stevens has been involved in computers since the early days. Sandy ventured into PC networking in its infancy. Taking the abundance of practical knowledge she gained from the School of Hard Knocks and the small amount of practical knowledge she gained in college, Sandy became a CNI and CNE and, in 1989, she began a career of teaching and consulting in the San Francisco Bay Area. Sandy later joined Novell, was beamed to Utah, and became an instructor for the prestigious Novell Technology Institute. The desire to become more involved with Novell's products prompted a move to the NetWare product team. There, Sandy was a technical marketing manager and, later, a product manager for NetWare 3, NetWare 4, NDS, and other distributed services. Today, Sandy prefers an entrepreneurial lifestyle to corporate chaos, so she works as a freelance writer and consultant.; J. D. Marymee began his computer life with TRS-80s back in the good old days of 16K RAM and cassette program loading. Upon finding the computer industry was in need of knowledgeable people, and because the college instructors knew less about microcomputers than he did, J. D. began working full-time at a computer distributor circa 1983. After several bouts with technical support and sales, he began teaching Novell classes in 1985 and joined Novell's Education Division in 1988. This continued (along with some consulting) until 1990 when J. D. was asked to head up a new part of Education based in Provo, Utah. After completing this task, he jumped into Systems Engineering with the infamous Corporate Integration Manager group. There J. D. was routinely beaten up (and enlightened) by customers of all shapes and sizes. Severely scarred, he moved to the marketing organization, which mandated instant lobotomies. J. D. now has responsibilities that include O/S integration efforts (such as Windows NT), platform products (including NetWare), and distributed services (such as BorderManager).

1.0 out of 5 stars Keep your hands of, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Novell's Guide to BorderManger (Paperback)

If you haven't heard about Bordermanager, this is your book. If you want in-depth information how these services supported by Bordermanager fits thogether, go to our lab and find the answer. This books covers Bordermanager 3.0 or later so for a general overview, yes, but using as a reference book, better keep your hands of. The step-by-step instructions, entitled as business-cases, are not well explained. I'm a bit disappointet, since the online-help of Bordermanager and the books delivered with the Bordermanager Software have the same level of information. But they're less expensive.

3.0 out of 5 stars Concise but with enough information to get basics going., October 1, 1999

With the move to more and more on-line documentation, it is easier when there is a hard-copy reference somewhere. While not a definitive reference, it assisted in the first time set up of our Border Manager server.
