Notes: The book is for users who will be accessing the Internet via a
VAX/VMS host. It is designed for a reader who has some familiarity with
personal computers but who has had little or no experience in using the
VAX. It assumes that the user will be accessing the VAX using a VT-100 or
better terminal or terminal emulation program. It explains how to access
the VAX using a PC on the campus-wide ethernet LAN or by modem. The book
can be used as a tutorial for beginners. The novice user will find the step
by step instructions, practical examples, and glossary very helpful.
However, the book can also be used as a valuable resource for the more
experienced user.
