This Fall CERFnet will begin a series of technology update seminars to keep
our members informed of developments in the networking environment. 

The first in the series will be held on September 23, 1992, covering both
SMDS and Frame Relay. Each service will be discussed in detail by
instructors who are industry specialists with extensive knowledge of the
topic. At the end of the day both instructors will participate in a
question and answer period and comparison of the two services.

David Piscitello, a member of the Broadband Data Services division at
Bellcore, will spend the first half of the day discussing SMDS. The
technical overview will include information on standards, management, and
the physical layer. Components and availability will be discussed, and the
current applications will be covered including a picture of where SMDS is
going.

Marie Beven, Product Manager with Sprint, will continue after lunch with
the basics of Frame Relay technology, including a discussion of IP and OSI
over Frame Relay. Next, availability from the various vendors will be
presented, including current status and a look into the future. Specific
examples of how Frame Relay is being used in corporate environments will be
highlighted.

The afternoon will conclude with a 45 minute question and answer period
with both instructors available to compare the offerings and the
applications each offering may have in your own environment.

About the instructors:

Marie Beven is a Product Manager in Data Networking Services with Sprint,
where for the past eighteen months her focus has been on Frame Relay. Marie
has also worked extensively on technologies such as X.25 and ATM/SONET, and
on SprintLink, Sprint's IP networking service.

David M. Piscitello is a member of the Broadband Data Services division at
Bellcore, where he concentrates on SMDS feature refinements, Customer
Network Management, and operation of internetworking and routing protocols
