Re: Fixing "clueless ISPs" etc etc etc, typical NANOG topic answered decisively

Novell Internet Professional... hmmmm this from a company that didn't even
offer a TCP/IP stack for Netware until everyone else had one first.

Microsoft "integrating" .. why does that sound so familiar but very scary
at the same time. :)

Netscape has more of a chance at getting "market share" on training, but
why should a software company give Internet training?  What are they going
to train you to do, use a Browser or ftp? *laugh*  

If someone wants to offer real Internet training, why not teach the
fundamentals of TCP/IP over WAN Protocols and routing.  Desktop TCP/IP
training can be put on a $19.95 video tape seminar.
