Publisher's Synopsis
Information is the key to managing LANs. This book provides the information essential to management decisions. Basic computer concepts for hardware and software are presented along with explanations and detailed drawings and "concepts before keystrokes" is the approach taken. The NetWare 386 chapter presents an overview to assist in assessing a new operating system before purchase, or to understand it if it has been upgraded. Simple questions like "what is the clock speed?" or "why won't our printer work properly?" or "how do we establish security?" are dealt with from a management perspective.
