%T   "NetWare to Internet Gateways"
 
As with his earlier "Novell's Guide to Integrating UNIX and NetWare Networks"
(cf. BKNGIUNN.RVW), Gaskin has put together an extremely useful reference for a
very interesting topic.  NetWare LANs often need connectivity to other systems,
with the Internet being the hot topic of the moment.
 
Six chapters provide the basic concepts and background.  There is an overview
of the Internet itself, technological aspects and ideas, the business case for
the use of the net, service providers, connection options, and access
procedures.  The bulk of the book consists of detailed reviews of major
Internet gateway systems for NetWare, arranged by platform.  (Demonstration
versions of six of these are included on a companion CD for the readers' own
assessment.)
