Surf Smarter:  Scout Toolkit V. 2.0  now available

Net Scout has developed a new version of the Scout Toolkit that will be a 
valuable resource to technology managers and end users who donÕt have 
time to track all the developments in network tools each week.

If you have time to read all the print and virtual publications about 
network tools, and know everything you need to know about plug-ins, 
authoring tools, searching the Internet, Java, gigabit ethernet, and 
Internet II, no need to keep reading. The rest of you should read on...!

The Scout Toolkit Version 2.0 provides concise summaries and analysis of 
the leading products in each area and why they are the leaders, and the 
technologies that are just around the bend, such as:

* the latest developments in browsers, plug-ins, and Web authoring tools
* concise, current overviews of Java, ActiveX, JavaScript and VBScript
* Òcheat sheetsÓ for the search engines: the new Sidekicks
* selective guides to networking publications, including which to use when
* the evolution of network computers 
* snapshots on the state of tag switching, gigabit ethernet, and ATM
* Internet next generation: Internet II and the NSFÕs vBNS

Version 2.0 of the toolkit has a completely new interface, designed for 
managers and users who want quick, easy-to-find information. Also 
provided are links to the latest articles on each topic for those who 
want additional details.

To facilitate high levels of traffic, the Net Scout Web site, including 
the Toolkit, is mirrored in three locations:

http://wwwscout.cs.wisc.edu/scout/toolkit/index.html

We hope the Scout Toolkit will provide you the same current awareness of 
network tools youÕve come to expect for network resources from the Scout 
Report and Net-happenings each week.

If you find the Scout Toolkit V. 2.0 useful or have suggestions on what 
we can add to make it more valuable for yourself and your users, let us 
know at scout at internic.net.
