Something to consider is that this is basically *TCP/IP* networking and it seems like plain terminal connections are somewhat lost in the IP ocean. I'm not sure how best to do it, but I would like to see non-tcp/ip stuff split out into a distinct "old technologies" section to make it easier to find. I think security issues also must be addressed somewhere because networking and security are pretty much married to each other. We could either stick security concerns in-line, or build a vaguely parallel part on security issues and provide cross links. I lean toward the latter because it allows people who already have the technical side of networking down quickly find security information without digging through lots of material they already know. Our current material on security might lend itself to this arrangement. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============
