Now MIS and data communications professionals can quickly and easily move beyond the capabilities in ISDN's future and focus on the practical benefits ISDN can offer companies today. Benefits like the costs saved by leasing fewer lines and simply dialing up bandwidth during peak times, increased productivity gained by a shorter time to connect, and more.

From the Inside Flap

This book is designed for datacomm professionals who are curious to know what they need to know about "ISDN," also known as the "Integrated Services Digital Network."

We assume that you know a little-but not a lot!-about data communications. (If you want to brush up on the basics, ask us for the first book in the series: The Basics Book of Information Networking.) We also assume that if you live north of Antarctica, you have already heard some of the hype about ISDN, and tsome hard facts about this beast. What is it? What can it do for you? And how soon?

Chapter 1 gives a quick overview of how we communicators got to where we are today, and so is optional reading for those already in the know about the analog phone network. Chapter 2 is wear-your-hip-boots material-we'll go deeper into the theoretical concepts behind ISDN. Chapter 3 explains how the theoretical material in Chapter 2 translates into hardware and software in the real world. Chapter 4 gives you general ideas about assessing your current network, and about how ISDN might fit into that network. And finally, Chapter 5 presents some typical ISDN applications, stressing what's out there today, and what will be out there the day after tomorrow.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
