* Possible to edit table data with MySQL Administrator?
By Steve Blass
Q: Is it possible to edit MySQL database table data with MySQL Administrator? I’ve only been able to edit table definitions and settings.
A: MySQL Administrator does not provide table data-editing capabilities similar to the MySQL Control Center program it replaced in the distribution. But a package called MySQL GUI Tools includes a program called the MySQL Query Browser that enables you to work directly with the database table data through the use of SQL queries.

* Considerations for voice and video over IP
By Ron Nutter
Q: What should customers consider if they want to run voice and video over their Internet service? What are the additional issues to consider when choosing DSL or a T-1?
A: If you are looking to run some type of VoIP connectivity across your Internet connection to either augment or replace conventional phone service, you first need to determine how much bandwidth that each phone call in progress will require. Also see where your carrier has points of presence installed and what type of bandwidth that they have in place to service those remote nodes.
