1 Where are the Exericise Solutions?
This book explains things fairly well. I would have rated it a 3 or 4, but they forgot the most important thing: THE SOLUTIONS TO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS!!!!! Where are they??? Without the solutions to the practice problems a technical textbook is pretty much useless!
2 Good book for beginners
Here's and excellent book for anyone who wants to learn about data communication and network systems.It uses an easy to understand language and gradually introduces a new topic.It touches all aspects of transmission modes and protocol concepts but if you want to study the seven OSI layers a better book would be Computer Networks by tanenbaum.Still a good book for beginners of the subject.

Understanding of transmission modes of the information - important moment in in our life! Thanks!

Quote of the Day:


Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

		-- Lao Tsu






	Approaching the gates of the monastery, Hakuin found Ken the Zen

preaching to a group of disciples.

	"Words..." Ken orated, "they are but an illusory veil obfuscating

the absolute reality of --"

	"Ken!" Hakuin interrupted. "Your fly is down!"

	Whereupon the Clear Light of Illumination exploded upon Ken, and he

vaporized.

	On the way to town, Hakuin was greeted by an itinerant monk imbued

with the spirit of the morning.

	"Ah," the monk sighed, a beatific smile wrinkling across his cheeks,

"Thou art That..."

	"Ah," Hakuin replied, pointing excitedly, "And Thou art Fat!"

	Whereupon the Clear Light of Illumination exploded upon the monk,

and he vaporized.

	Next, the Governor sought the advice of Hakuin, crying: "As our

enemies bear down upon us, how shall I, with such heartless and callow

soldiers as I am heir to, hope to withstand the impending onslaught?"

	"US?" snapped Hakuin.

	Whereupon the Clear Light of Illumination exploded upon the

Governor, and he vaporized.

	Then, a redneck went up to Hakuin and vaporized the old Master with

his shotgun.  "Ha! Beat ya' to the punchline, ya' scrawny li'l geek!"
