[.ca] Understanding Telephone Electronics (ISBN 0750671750)

It was a good book:
It coverd all telephone basic

GREAT BOOK:
From the beginig to the advanced level of the telephone as a machine and as a part of a net. Good to learn how a telephone is inside yesterday and today.

Better for historical value:
I found this book to be completely outdated and useless. I had expected to find some state of the art data, or at least recent information. When it came to the best modems, 2400 baud was the best available but 14,400 baud might offer some potential. It was my fault for buying this dog as I had assumed that it was updated as of 1997 - it was only copyrighted then.

A Good Book:
The title is accurate. If you want to learn about telephone electronics, this is a great book. It's easy to read, comprehensive and well structured. No, it doesn't go into great detail about state of the art modems or attempt to teach the finepoints of wireless telephony, but it does cover basic fax, modem and telephone electronics very well.
