What is the Internet? Who owns it? Who pays for it? Just how big is
the Internet? What do Gopher, anonymous ftp, and WAIS mean? How do I
read Newsgroups? How do I get email? We can help. Here are some locations
of more information about the Internet:
Probably the best place to start learning about the
history of the Internet. This document is an excerpt from the book
The Whole Internet User's Guide.
Despite its unflattering name, this document contains all sorts
of useful information, including how to connect to the Internet, how to
use Email, the Usenet (Newsgroups), telnet, ftp, and Gopher. It also

Another large collection of Internet information: from
maps of the Internet to history, and etiquette. There's information
about connecting to the Internet, using different Internet
services, advanced topics, and a frequently asked questions section.
Operated by the Global Network Navigator (GNN) site, the help desk
contains links to other help information that they have published and
some that they have gathered.
Updated twice a month with published books that offer
