If you want to see what's new each week on the Web, check out the What's 
New service at http://gnn.com/gnn.wn.whats-new.html.  You'll also find 
postings of new services in the alt.internet.services and 
comp.infosystems.www.announce Usenet newsgroups. 

Once a month, Thomas Boutell posts a WWW FAQ (answers to "Frequently 
Asked Questions") in the news.answers and comp.infosystems.www newsgroups 
in Usenet.  You can also retrieve a copy via anonymous ftp (or ncftp) at 
rtfm.mit.edu. Look in the pub/usenet/news.answers/www directory for a 
file called faq. 

The National Center for Supercomputing Applications maintains a good 
introductory guide to HTML and related programs at

You can get more information about TIA software via anonymous ftp at

find documentation, answers to frequently asked questions, etc. 

Frank Hecker's "Personal Internet Access Using SLIP or PPP; How You Use 
It, How It Works," gives a good overview of how the two protocols work.  
It's available via FTP at ftp.digex.net as 
/pub/access/hecker/internet/slip-ppp.txt or via the World-Wide Web at 
http://www.charm.net/ppp.html. 

At that latter URL, you'll find numerous other documents and programs 
related to SLIP/PPP access, including information and files related to 
Macintosh SLIP service. 

Henry Kriz has written a three-part series on connecting Windows computers 
to the Internet via TCP/IP, SLIP, etc. that goes into more technical 
detail than what you've just read.  It's available via anonymous FTP at 
nebula.lib.vt.edu in the /pub/windows/winsock directory.  Look for a file 
with a name like wtcpip05.asc, where the two digits in the first part of 
the name indicate the current version number.
