It is available from the MacMillan Book Club (1-800-257-8345 - sorry, no address handy). Volume 1 covers the OSI interconnection model and osi-related standards Volume 2 covers local network standards Volume 3 covers the DOD protocol standards It sounds like volume 3 would help you (although there is much to be learned from the other volumes) I hope this has helped!

An alternate source, for those interested in things like credit-card purchases (which the NIC doesn't do, as I recall) is Computer Literacy Bookshop, 520 Lawrence Expressway, Sunnyvale 94086, (408)730-9955. That's where I got my copy. Cost was similar although it may have been slightly higher; I don't remember for sure. -- SunOSish, adj: requiring | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology 32-bit bug numbers. | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
