I own a copy of the Comer book, so if anyone would like me to bring it
to a meeting, just ask.

Cool.  We could also set up some actual computers with some actual NICs
on a small LAN.  Perhaps I could do the whacky demos if someone else

have access to a fully configured, working LAN, but it might be good to see
one built step-by-step.)
