Intranetware BorderManager

Rating:
Summary: Discusses BorderManager instead of providing real assistance
Review: Gaskin provides an enjoyable description of BorderManager, but does not provide much useful assistance for designing, installing, configuring, or troubleshooting. Since this book suffers from the same problems as the manuals that come with BorderManager, it does not solve most of the problems that BorderManager administrators will encounter. Instead, try Novell's Guide to BorderManager (Stevens & Marymee), or buy the Manual for Novell course 770, "Securing Intranets with BorderManager." The latter book is pricey, but gives good step-by-step installation instructions.

Rating:
Summary: Too involved with slagging off Microsoft
Review: The author of this book seems to be preoccupied with attacking Microsoft and NT than he is with providing assistance with BorderManager. The book is very shallow regarding BorderManager and provides little in the way of technical assistance. Don't waste your money.

Rating:
Summary: Falls short
Review: This book seems to lack focus. It wanders from basics of TCP/IP to web servers to (even)Sidekick. Seems that his book was put toghther with Border Manager as an afterthought. Novell's book is a little more focused but still lacking.
