Subject: RE: Has anyone used netmasterclass's Frame Relay Class on Demand
yet?
Hey,
I'm pretty good with Frame.
I've seen the competition and some are quite nice.
But I still think NMC sets the bar for quality, price,
and value.
Did I mention for sheer comprehensive coverage?
How can you not like buying one product and being
finished?
I've bought nearly everything there is and I asked
Bruce this earlier this year - why not start a ground
level program.
Well - it looks like he heard me and found Anthony S.
to be a poster child.
BTW - Anyone with access - look for what the guys at
NMC did for switching. I love their explanation of
the Native VLAN and a few tricks not seen elsewhere.
Kewlicious!
I bought it - So I'll review it later and let you know
what I think.
BTW - I do not work for NMC. Not affiliated except as
a customer and I've bought most if not all of the
competition's work as well and am on their client
rosters as well.
