[nfbcs] Looking for a textbook on network security

[Jude DaShiell]

Also, Please have the University verify the accessibility of the 
downloaded ebook by doing their own testing on it before you take that 
course.  Just because a book is audio don't necessarily guarrantee it is 
accessible.  Hopefully the professor teaching the course can check the 
technical parts over and verify what was recorded is also useable.  If 
the readers were not networking professionals probabilities are high the 
technical parts although accessible in the audio book will not be 
useable due to incorrect reading style and missing content.
