This book provides top-notch advice on adopting DSL. DSL is exploding, with fifteen million fast Internet connections in 2001 and probably forty million more by 2003. The editors of "DSL Prime", the weekly "industry bible," brief you on exactly what you need to know to put the technology to use. The book moves rapidly from the basics of the equipment through security, applications, and network management. With the authority of the industry's key periodical, Bourne and Burstein provide candid evaluations of the providers and manufacturers and offer technical managers a no-nonsense guide to make sound strategic decisions on DSL, reduce costs, and ensure a system that will run reliably and smoothly. Focused on the needs of the corporate IT and business manager, the "Tech Briefs" series provides in-depth information on a new or emerging technology, solutions, and vendor offerings available in the marketplace. With their accessible approach, these books will help you get quickly up-to-speed on a topic so that you can effectively compete, grow, and better serve your customers.
