Later versions will cover documents sent between enterprises over the Internet.

ASK ED TITTEL
Are we seeing a trend toward multi-vendor certs?
Dear Ed:
I recently obtained my Novell Master CNE certification. One of the requirements of the MCNE was passing CompTIA's IT project and test, for which I attained the associated certification. Likewise, Compaq and IBM require MCSE or CNE certifications for their ASE cert. Do you see this type of inter-vendor certification becoming more of a norm among other platform vendors?

"Call it file sharing or shoplifting, here in Holland we call it good business," said the chief "Thief."
