Acknowledgements

I could not possibly have written this glossary without a lot of help from many BIXen, especially Thomas Wagner of Germany and Jan Sinstadt of Switzerland. The information on the various MNP levels came from the Cardinal 2400 BPS MNP modem manual. The information on the more recent standards came from Kelly Boan. Stephen Satchell provided information on 28K modems. Wimsey Information Services provided much of the information on Internet at a lecture. Alan Clarke of Hayes provided information on some of the more obscure CCITT standards. David Gleason provided information on how Java filenames work on GCOS. Chris Adamson provided information on signing keys and the Mac. Patricia Shanahan provide the fast power algorithm. Michel Gallant and Mikael Fiil provided help understanding certificates and signing. Bill Wilkinson explained serialization.Jean-Baptiste Nizet unlocked the mystery of installing DLLs and native classes in the Netscape directories. Ilja Preuß contributed thoughtfully to the "why not" debate on Bali, which in turn inspired me to think of more entries for the "why do it". Luke Webber provided the info on Applet classpaths. Dale King helped sort out RMI. Venky Naganathan and Mascha Loomis helped sort out the use of ClassLoaders to run JNI classes. Rob Rhead provided the information on the various firewalls and ICQ. John O'Conner helped sort out fonts in JDK 1.2.

Hundreds of other people helped too whom I neglected to acknowledge.

There are also credits in the Unmaintainable Code essay and the Gotchas essay.
