                     BNUG: BOSTON NETWORK USERS GROUP
                   ------------------------------------
                         NOVEMBER MONTHLY MEETING 

                             HOME NETWORKING:
               SHARING YOUR BROADBAND CONNECTION WITH YOUR 
           HOUSEHOLD AND NOT SHARING IT WITH THE ENTIRE WORLD 

 This months meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 13 and the topic 
 will be home networking with our own Mark Kushinsky and Josh Turiel. 
 Come and see how to share and protect your home broadband internet 
 connections.  And, even if you are running a home network already, there 
 will be opportunities to ask questions and to compare networking design 
 and strategies.

 Join us at Novell's office in at 60 Williams Street in Wellesley, at 
 the intersection of Route 9 and Route 128 (I-95 Exit 20-B).  Beginning  
 at 6:30 PM, meet old friends and make new ones over refreshments.  The 
 meeting will start at 7:00 PM and run no later than 9:00pm.


            BNUG meets the second Tuesday of every month.  
     Our motto is "Free Stuff!"  And in that sprit, our meetings 
   and our membership dues are free -- and refreshments are served.  
   If you wish to join, are interested in more information, or need 
    directions to our meeting place, please visit our web site at:

              COMING IN FEBRUARY: ANOTHER "BNUG BOOT-CAMP"
             ----------------------------------------------
   On February 2, 2002, the Greater Boston Network Users Group is holding 
   a full-day Saturday seminar on FIREWALLS and VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS.  
   This is not a vendor presentation disguised as a seminar.  No vendors 
   will be making presentations selling their stuff.  You'll have a full 
   day of practical, useful, material covering the what, the why and the 
   how-to of using these techniques and strategies for defending your 
   network.

   The cost is $85 in advance and $100 at the door.  This includes the 
   seminar, copies of all handouts, continental breakfast, lunch and 
   afternoon snack.  Contact BNUG to reserve your spot now!
