[comp.dcom.telecom] help please - acronyms and resources

chip@vector.uucp (Chip Rosenthal) (03/22/89)

I would like to compile a list of acronyms and resources for TELECOM
readers, and I solicit your help.  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.
