2. On-Line Resources
--------------------
1. The comp.answers & news.answers newsgroups contain (or at least should)
all FAQ postings for the newsgroups dealing with computers.
The following newsgroups contain discussion related to TCP/IP :
- Newsgroups FAQs are posted periodically to their top-hierarchy
answers newsgroup (e.g. comp.os.vms => comp.answers). Those
groups, along with news.newusers.questions, are great places
to look for FAQs & tips in.
- the comp.protocols hierarchy, which covers various networking
protocols, such as tcp/ip, kermit, and iso.
notice that some TCP/IP related protocols have discussion
groups of their own (e.g. NFS, SNMP, NTP, PPP).
- the comp.dcom hierarchy, including groups that discuss lans,
modems, and ethernet.
- the comp.mail hierarchy, which covers various electronic
mail programs (pine, elm, sendmail, etc).
- The news hierarchy, which covers the various subjects related
to usenet, including the NNTP protocol.
2. All the newgroups' FAQs, as well as other intoductory documents are
stored at ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/. A good introductory to TCP/IP from
the site is the file ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/net/internet.text. The FAQs
can be accessed on the web at http://www.faqs.org/ as well.
As the rtfm.mit.edu & faqs.org sites might be heavily loaded, and
as many sites mirror the FAQs archive, it is advisable to search
for FAQs at geographically nearer sites. A list of many mirror sites
(allowing access via FTP, WWW, Gopher, mail, etc) is available at :
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/faqs/news-answers/introduction
The comp.protocols.tcp-ip group has a FAQ, previously maintained by

written up for the purpose of concenrating the info at a single point.
http://t2.technion.ac.il/~s2845543/mini-tcpip.faq.html
3. The comp.protocols.tcp-ip newsgroup is gated to a mailing list.
The list is served by listserv@pucc.princeton.edu, and named tcp-ip.
The comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc is gated to a mailing list as well,
and it is served by listserv@list.nih.gov, under the name PCIP.
The alt.winsock newsgroup is gated to a mailing list as well.
The mailing list is named winsock@microdyne.com. The [un]subscribption
address is, of course, winsock-request@microdyne.com
3. WWW resources
----------------
1. The internic's home page is http://www.internic.net/
This is _the_ authorative source for RFCs (which include all
the standards for TCP/IP), FYIs, and other infos about the
internet and TCP/IP. There is an option to search RFCs by
keywords, and an index of all published RFCs.
The internic's databases (RFCs, FYIs, stds, etc) are accessible
via FTP at ds.internic.net, where there's a directories for RFCs
(some are available in postscript format), drafts, FYIs, a resource
guide (in both text and post-script formats), etc.
The internic's databases are accessible via email, at
listserv@is.internic.net and mailserv@ds.internic.net.
Messages should have an empty line, and to get further info,
send a message with a body having one line, containing "help".
Another email address is rfc-info@isi.edu - to get further info,
send a message with any subject, and with the body having
one line, containing either "help", or "help: ways_to_get_rfcs".
Note : the RFCs are the documents giving the official documentation
to the various internet protocols. For specs / description /
details / info about any internet protocol, first look at
the internic's site, or get the RFCs index via email.
An excellent index of RFCs is available in an appendix in Comer's first
volume, but it is current as of the publishing date only.
Comment : as many people seem to look for RFCs on CD-ROMs,
I list here two titles I know of :
1. Infomagic has a 2 CDs set titled "STANDARDS" which
contains, among other things, all the RFCs & IENs.
2. Walnut-Creek has a CD-ROM titled "Internet Info" which
contains some of the RFCs & IENs, among other stuff.

9. The DejaNews site archives all the posts to usenet.
The site, at http://www.dejanews.com/, enables users to search through
posts sent over the past few years using different methods, which
may be combined, such as words from articles, authors, and newsgroups.
The ability to find past posts discussing unfamiliar subjects is an
endless source of information, and may supply immediate answers to
questions asked on usenet in the past.
If you wish to have a post of yours not archived in dejanews add
the header "X-No-Archive: Yes" to your posting's header, or write
it as your article's first line. Notice that this wouldnt prevent
other people from quoting your article, thus causing the quoted
material to be archived.
Other usefull features of DejaNews :
- Get poster profiles.
This gives a count of how many posts did a poster send to each
newsgroup, with a poster identified by it's email address.
- Search for newsgroups discussing given subjects.
As the search is done by frequency of words in posts, the
results should be taken with a grain of salt, e.g.
10. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, located at Trondheim,
has an FTP search engine on the web, located at
http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no/ftpsearch, that can find files on anonymous FTP
servers world wide.
The search is similar to the one done by archie, and can be very
useful for finding source code for utilities, FAQs, etc.
A quick search for the word ping produced the following output :
