From Thinnet to 10base-T, From Sys Admin to Network Manager
Arnold de Leon

Abstract
Once you have more than one computer at a site, a network is
usually required. Often the system administrator also becomes
responsible for the network. This becomes yet another task on an
already full schedule. To be a successful system administrator,
you need a working network; therefore, you now have to become the
network manager with a limited amount of time. I will go through
the techniques and strategies, including examples from the
implementation used at Synopsys, for supporting a network in your
spare time.
