I need references. My colleagues and I have been arguing, and it's clear that even though we are all reasonably informed and even erudite computerists and EEers, we really don't have all the facts. What we need is one or more books that describe in detail (1) the telephone system as it now stands in North America at least, (2) modem technology and modulation techniques in use by modems today and in the near future, (3) ISDN and other future service upgrades and bandwidth expansions planned for home and commercial use, (4) cellular telephony and radio datacomm systems in use, and (5) a list OF other references to such stuff as standards definitions, tutorials and introductory texts, and industry-specific methods. A tall order, and any info will be appreciated. Reply to me by email, and I'll collect and summarize the results to this newsgroup. Thanks! Tom DeBoni (deboni@diego.llnl.gov)
