Telnet/SSH programs:
PuTTY
PuTTY Connection Manager (great GUI for PuTTy, with tabs!)
TeraTerm

Various Networking Tools:
Solarwinds Free Tools (A few of their free tools include: NetFlow Analyzer, Subnet Calculator, IP Address Tracker, TFTP Server and lots more… check these out for sure!)
The Free Country (There are TONS of free tools on this site, I can’t even start to list them all… so don’t be lazy, just go check it out)

While there are lots of other tools out there, I thought I would post these and I’ll have to remember to come back and make a more exhaustive list.

A few days ago I found myself needing a new Tech book, so I headed to my favorite site for such things… Bookpool.com. Instead of finding the usual front page of Top sellers and Monthly specials, I found a Network Solutions page. It appeared as though the entire site had disappeared and all that was left was a simple placeholder left by the domain registrar.

After doing a little research online, I ran across one message board where someone mentioned that they recently visited the “brick and mortar” storefront and found most of the shelves empty and the fixtures being sold.  It looks like Bookpool is another victim of the recession and I for one will really miss them.  Here is hoping that one day they may return, but I seriously doubt it.
