Finally aa book that speaks with forked tongue! Gaskin knows both the technology and the culture of the net. He also knows the corporate mindset (and who should know better than Konsultant Karl?) and politics. He can speak to both groups, and he can speak the truth. This work provides a realistic, complete, and thorough overview of the concerns of the corporate world as it approaches the net, and the net as the corporations close in. It is informed, thoughtful, and practical, allowing geeks to speak to upper management and executives to understand why you can't spam. And, since it's from Gaskin, it's readable by anybody. The primary purpose of the book is to ease the problems a company faces in getting on to the Internet, and providing net access for employees. However, Gaskin interprets this mandate quite broadly. As he should. The result is a very useful guide that provides help for the problems you can foresee--and warning of those you never knew existed. copyright Robert M.
