After reading NANOG for a few years now and I have found the information here to be very helpful. After sharing the wealth of information I have found here with some of the members of the MIS department here, they asked if there might be some similar organizations with a focus on Microsoft system and network administration. They have access to the MSDN services; however, they were particularly interested in an organization not directly affiliated with Microsoft that might have a comparable level of knowledge as those in NANOG do regarding networking. If anyone has any ideas for such resources, the suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also if there are past threads that I might have overlooked regarding this subject and someone will point me that direction, I will gladly search the archives again. Thank you to all for the great information in the past and any future suggestions. Sincerely, Ben Arnold Network Operations barnold@vpntranet.com VPNtranet, L.L.C.
