Computers in Communication - Errata

Since publication of the book by McGraw-Hill in May 1997, the author and some readers have spotted a few typographical lapses, and these are listed here - particular thanks to Jane Hillston for her observant feedback. Lapses that affect technical accuracy are marked with an asterisk. If you spot any other lapses, then an e-mail report to the author would be much appreciated.
