For those who don't know me, I administer the gateway between [TELECOM Digest] and the USENET comp.dcom.telecom newsgroup. I have received a few requests for this sort of list, and it does seem like a good idea. I wouldn't be surprised if Patrick has seen similar requests too. Anyway here is the plan: - resources Please take a moment to note any books or periodicals which you think TELECOM readers should be aware of. If you can, please include (as appropriate) title, author, publisher, cost, subscription info. Also, a few words on why the thing is so great (or useless) would help. - acronyms I do not plan on publishing a comprehensive list, but rather a glossary of the lingo thrown around in this digest/newsgroup. Descriptions should be very brief. I *really* need help on the resources part. My professional focus is in an extremely narrow part of telecommunications, so there is much out there I am not aware of. So, please, hit that reply key now and mail me your comments. Please send them to me rather than the entire list -- I will distribute the final version to everybody. Also, Internet folks can reach me as "chip@vector.Dallas.TX.US" if your mailer prefers that to "chip@vector.UUCP". USENET readers can't until the new uucp maps are published. -- Chip Rosenthal chip@vector.UUCP | -------- watch this space -------- Dallas Semiconductor 214-450-5337 | - real domain address coming soon -
