Well, folks, I’m still looking for a few good writers. The last call produced turned up many interesting candidates. But when the realities of the job hit, many had to back away.

I’m looking for writers with expertise three areas:

  • Router reviews – You’ll review consumer and small-business routers and gateways, both with and without integrated VPN gateways.
  • Open Source networking – You’ll be reviewing open source networking distros and tools and writing how tos using open source tools.
  • Security – You’ll write about small network security and network management issues.

Due to product shipment logistics, product reviewers must be located in the U.S. Otherwise, you can be anywhere as long as you have good English writing skills. Let’s hear from you!

Tom's Networking always implied that it was a networking mirror of Tom's Hardware; Small Net Builder is a more accurate reflection of what the site is truly all about.

Linksys branding to be replaced by Cisco. No surprise here

The Uberpulse headline "Cisco kills Linksys brand, plans agressive move into consumer markets" is sure an attention getter, but comes as no surprise.

First, Chambers actually said: "It will all come over time into a Cisco brand"—which hardly amounts to an announcement that the Linksys brand has been, or will soon be, retired. And for those of us who deal regularly with the company and its products, it's really a statement of the obvious.
