Still the best book on the Internet. This is the second edition of our comprehensive introduction to the Internet. An international network that includes virtually every major computer site in the world, the Internet is a resource of almost unimaginable wealth. In addition to electronic mail and news services, thousands of public archives, databases, and other special services are available: everything from space flight announcements to ski reports. This book covers Internet basics -- like email, file transfer, remote login, and network news -- while also exploring new online tools for helping you find information, like the World Wide Web. Useful to beginners and veterans alike, this book will help you explore what's possible on the Net. Also includes a pull-out quick-reference card.
