Book Description
Life is fragile, and when it changes without warning, people are changed as well, sometimes irreparably. When circumstances outside our control reshape our lives, who we are and who we have the capacity to become are put to the test. With clarity and knowledge, a deeper understanding can be born. This is the story of two women, living in times and circumstances that couldn’t be more dissimilar. How does a woman struggling to stay alive in Nazi-occupied Poland, have anything in common with a ditzy housewife living in modern day affluence—and yet they are intimately connected in pain and loss and blood. The Blue Box is a story of grief, solitude, and familial bonds, but more importantly, it’s a story about the transformative power of forgiveness.

Book Description
Configuring Cisco Voice Over IP, Second Edition provides network administrators with a thorough understanding of Cisco's current voice solutions. This book is organized around the configuration of all of Cisco's core VoIP products, including Cisco CallManager software, Cisco 7910 series of phones, and server-based IP PBXs. In addition, AVVID coverage has been added. An update to a bestselling title in a growth market. Continued competitive pressure on ISPs to deliver VoIP will create strong demand information on topic Voice Over IP is expected to make great inroads in 2002. Voice-over-IP got its start at the time of the first edition of the book; it is now real and more companies are adopting it since IT managers have become less skeptical of IP telephony's reliability and more aware of the potential cost savings and application benefits of a converged network. Voip wares now promise easier quality-of-service (QoS) deployment, and a multitude of new IP phones and conferencing stations for corporations. Cisco and IBM recently announced a package deal that could help businesses quickly roll out IP voice in a small or midsize office. Since getting into the IP telephony market two years ago, Cisco has seen quick success in selling its voice-over-IP products into its vast installed base of IP LAN equipment customers. The firm was the top vendor of IP phones in the first quarter of this year and second in IP PBX system shipments (behind 3Com), according to Cahners In-Stat.
