                    "European Networking"
      Carl Malamud Interviews Glenn Kowack and Rob Blokzijl
               ISBN 1-56592-999-3; 1 hour; $9.95

Glenn Kowack is chief executive of EUnet, the network that's bringing the
Internet to the ordinary people of Europe. Glenn talks about EUnet's
populist business model and the politics of European networking. The
highlight of the interview is Glenn's humorous tale of trying to set up
links in Eastern Europe, where the telecommunications infrastructure isn't
always what you expect.

Rob Blokzijl is the network manager for NIKHEF, the Dutch Insitute of High
Energy Physics. NIKHEF has been one of the key sites for networking in
Europe, and Rob has been the force behind that presence. In this
interview, Rob talks about the nuts and bolts of European network
coordination, covering such topics as RIPE, the IP users group for Europe,
why Amsterdam seems to be the center of so much European networking, and
what it was like to try to put networks together in an era of massive
centrally planned information policies and functionally obese networking
protocols.

           "Networked Information and Online Libraries"
       Carl Malamud Interviews Peter Deutsch and Cliff Lynch
                ISBN 1-56592-999-5; 1 hour; $9.95

Peter Deutsch, President of Bunyip Information Services, was one of the
co-developers of Archie, a service that scans anonymous FTP sites and
maintains distributed databases that allow users on the Internet to locate
copies of files they are looking for. Since then, he has been instrumental
in the IETF working group seeking to deploy a white pages service called
whois++. Peter talks about his philosophy for services and compares Archie
to X.500. He also talks about what kind of standards we need for networked
information retrieval.

Cliff Lynch is one of the most thoughtful participants in the race to move
libraries and publishers onto electronic publishing platforms. Cliff is
currently the Director of Library Automation for the University of
California. He discusses online publishing, looking at the issue of SGML
as a markup language and examining the question of presentation integrity
versus the desire for revisable form documents. He also discusses the
Z39.50 protocol, the scaling of very large databases, the democratization
of publishing, and the need to develop new standards for Internet
publishing.

                     "Security and Networks"
       Carl Malamud Interviews Jeff Schiller and John Romkey
                ISBN 1-56592-999-7; 1 hour; $9.95

Jeff Schiller is one of the Internet's leading security experts and the
manager of MIT's campus network. Jeff talks about the deployment of PEM
(Privacy Enhanced Mail) and a public key infrastructure and explains his
philosophy of "very good security or no security." Jeff also talks about
the difficulty of policing the Internet and discusses whether horses or
computers are more useful to criminals.

John Romkey has been a long-time TCP/IP developer and was recently named to
the Internet Architecture Board. In this wide-ranging interview, John
talks about the role of security in the Internet and export control
policies that leave RSA algorithms patented in the US but available for
anonymous FTP in Finland. John also discusses the role of SNMP in
ToasterNet, and we learn why his garage is full of burnt Eggos and how he
incurred the wrath of the Waffle Union.
