Synopsis

It has long been recognized that there are advantages in linking computers to other computers and to other systems via networks and other methods. The convergence between computing and communications has emphasised the need for such interconnection provisions. This book explores the character of the modern microcomputer, then considers data transmission as a prelude to discussing how micros can be linked to other micros, mainframes, etc in various ways. The need for effective microcomputer communications is emphasised and attention is given to such provisions as file transfer, local area networks, and wide area networks. Problems associated with the communications task are discussed and brief speculation about future developments is included. An appendix lists companies that market products in this increasingly important field.
