Synopsis

A simple, straightforward guide to the Internet for beginners using the DOS environment. Provides the telecommunications software Telix Lite on disk and discount coupons from major Internet gateway providers. Does not address to any depth the growing interest in PPP/SLIP connections that allow access to powerful graphic interfaces like Mosaic, but does offer very good instruction about using basic functions like telnet and ftp without getting too technical. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

About this title

From the Publisher

Many Internet neophytes find themselves frustrated by the plethora of Internet information available which is heavy on description and light on "how to" instructions. Instead of being divided into chapters as conventional books are, this book is divided into on-line Internet sessions. Covers Internet connectivity, Internet mail, newsgroups (how to join and participate), mailing lists, useful Internet tools (Gopher, Archie, WAIS), and rules of the road.
