If you want to get involved with Internet telephony but don't know where to start, this is the book for you. Kirk covers every aspect of the technology, from base system, to specialized hardware, through hone programs, via standards, and in related software and applications. Everything is dealt with practically and in sufficient depth. All sections are not only clearly explained, but also a pleasure to read. The book covers the technology on a conceptual as well as hands-on level. The author looks at the social side in addition to the bits and bytes. Reviews of the various products (and many are covered) give specifications, description, and personal opinions. Actually, I hope nobody buys this book until I get my system running ... copyright Robert M.
