I guess the title does say it all, but how to explain what the title means?

This is a quick overview of the data communications options and requirements
for a remote, or possibly travelling, user, dialing in to a host, LAN, or WAN
(wide area network).  The emphasis is on breadth of options regarded, rather
than specifics of the technology.  The advice on management is sometimes
hampered by the lack of detail, but is generally practical and helpful.

As I read through this book, it appeared to be quite similar to many before it,
aimed at the same audience, and to the same purpose.  Then, I realized that
these books have a short lifetime, given the rapid changes in the technologies. 
This is, then, a very serviceable successor to those previous, and covers the
latest, up to date, possibilities.
