2. Detailed comments

   In general, it described nicely the alternatives of MAC 
   protocols and also clearly states at the beginning what 
   are the requirements for a "good" MAC protocol. 

   The two biggest thing that were missing were: 
    - comparison of alternative MAC protocols (how these 
      protocols differ from eachother)
    - own analysis of protocols (some comments on these 
      protocols, whether they are feasible, suitable for 
      generic MAC protocols, any design flaws, own favorite 
      protol (and why), ...)

   Text was generally OK, but some parts were looking like 
   lists, not like a normal text paragraphs. 
   
   Editorial comments:
    - It is good to put on top of the first page 
      - title of the paper
      - writer's name and affilation
      - maybe a short abstract (this is optional, 
        it the paper is short)
    - Every figure and table should have lables, e.g., 
    
       Figure 1: Example of hidden terminal problem 
 
      and every figure/table shall be alre referred in text.

    - To clarify headings it would help, if they are numbered
    - Page numbers help in case when reader has dropped papers 
      and lost the order of papers. 
    - avoid paragraphs that have only one sentence. 
    - every reference in the reference list shall be 
      referenced somewhere in text
    - I would personnally prefer justified right text format

    Other:
    - two spelling errors/typos:
      - page 3, just before the figure there are four 
        items in the list, but text says: "...can be classified
	into three basic types". Probably the last item 
	should not be in the list?
      - page 4, Just before Collision Avoidance header, there
        is extra "s" in text (...winning node is S voice one"
	or it should be "a"
