Notes: Your Internet Consultant - the FAQs of List Online (written by the
author of this bibliography) provides simple, enlightening answers to
hundreds (361, to be exact) of frequently asked questions about the
Internet (as well as answers to a few questions that aren't frequently-
asked, but should be.) The book is arranged in a question-and-answer
format, making it blissfully simple to find just the info you need. I think
you'll find the book unique, useful and a little silly. For information and

Notes: This guide should give you a reference to consult if you're curious
about what can be done with the Internet. It also presents the fundamental
topics that are all too often assumed and considered trivial by many
network users. It covers the basic utilities and information reaching other
networks. An earlier, much less comprehensive version is available via FTP;
see previous section. Matisse Enzer says: Very friendly general overview
book. Not really a how-to book, rather a Cultural Companion that explain
what each type of Internet resource is, as well as the cultural and
traditional uses and issues. Includes a chapter on "Things you will hear
about..." this chapter explains many famous (and infamous) Internet events
and entities.

Notes: This book is a reference work. It details the various computer
networks with gateways to the Internet. It is common to cite such works as
"indispensable": in fact, most users, and even site managers, muddle along
quite happily without it. Quick reference "electronic" versions exist of
very similar documents, which provide the addressing schemes for the more
common network and commercial service gateways. Frey and Adams have,
however, put together a very complete and interesting reference, and I do
suggest it to anyone managing, or using, extensive e-mail correspondence.
As a user of electronic mail, or the manager of a small Internet node or
