  2.3 Standards bodies.
  ---------------------

   RFCs (Requests For Comments) are the official standards for the
   Internet Protocols. Those are specs, not hands-on manuals.
   The RFC index lists the status of each RFC. STD #1 lists which
   RFCs a compliant IP stack should implement.

   The RFC Editor's home page is http://www.rfc-editor.org/
   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. RFC drafts are available for the Internet
   Engineering Task Force's site (http://www.ietf.org/).

   Five other good places to look for RFCs are -

    1. The Kashpureff Family's site, at http://www.kashpureff.org/nic/,
       which has a copy of all RFCs and drafts, as well as a search
       engine to search for keywords through either RFCs or drafts. 

    2. The Internet FAQ Consortium site, at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/,
       which has a search engine, indice, RFCs FAQs, etc.

    3. By email to [email protected]. 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".

    4. The Internet Standards site, which breaks down RFCs by
       category (e.g. by application) at http://www.Internet-Standard.com/

    5. The RFC Sourcebook, at http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/default0303.htm 
       The site has an extensive and useful index.
       
   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.

  2.4 FAQs, newsgroups, and mailing lists.
  ----------------------------------------

   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.

   All the newsgroups' FAQs, as well as other introductory documents are
   stored at ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/ and at http://www.faqs.org/. A good
   introductory to TCP/IP from the site is the file
    ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/net/internet.text

   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

   A very good TCP/IP Q & A site was brought up by Yegappan Lakshmanan.

    ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/windows/winsock-faq

   This newsgroup is gated to a mailing list. The mailing list is named
   [email protected]. The [un]subscribe address is [email protected]

   Info about various TCP/IP protocols originating from UNIX utilities,
   such as r-* services, lpd, and talk, can be found in a page I've

    http://www.interhack.net/pubs/fwfaq/

   There's also a firewalls mailing list,
    served by   mailto:[email protected]
    archived at ftp://ftp.greatcircle.com/pub/firewalls/archive/

   Two RFCs that can serve as FAQs are :

    - RFC #1180 (RFC1180), titled "A TCP/IP Tutorial", is a good
      tutorial, with a focus on how an IP packet travels from
      source to destination.

    - RFC #2151 (FYI30), titled "A Primer On Internet and TCP/IP Tools"
      is a good introductory to TCP/IP tools, such as ping, finger, and
      traceroute.

 8. Misc Networking Pages.
 -------------------------


  8.1 General.
  ------------

   A networking terms dictionary is available
    http://www.rad.com/networks/netterms.htm

   There's a site for the Kermit project at
    http://www.kermit-project.org/

   A good search engine could supply further info.
    Yahoo     at http://www.yahoo.com/
    AltaVista at http://www.altavista.com/
    Google    at http://www.google.com/

   The Networked Computer Science Technical Reference Library site
   is an archive of computer science articles, which can be searched
   through using an impressive search engine.
    http://cs-tr.cs.cornell.edu/

   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 useful 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          NEWSGROUPS WHERE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT: christianity

All the newsgroups in the following list contain christianity in some article.
The confidence rating indicates how sure we are that people talk about your
query in the newsgroup. Clicking on the newsgroup name will show you all of
the articles within the group which match your query.

          Confidence   Newsgroup
             99%       alt.atheism
             63%       rec.games.frp.misc
             54%       rec.music.christian
             39%       alt.religion.christian
             38%       soc.religion.christian
             38%       soc.penpals
             33%       austin.general
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   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 :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ftp.cc.uec.ac.jp (Japan)
  1 ftp.cc.uec.ac.jp  /.0/4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sbin/ping
  2 ftp.cc.uec.ac.jp  /.0/4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/i386/floppy/ping

 [more links snipped]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Other files search engine are located at such places as  
   http://castor.acs.oakland.edu/cgi-bin/vsl-front/ which can find files
   for specific platforms (e.g. unix, windows, mac) or specific formats
   (e.g. wav, midi, fonts, source code).

   There are three good sites to find mailing lists that discuss a subject
   of interest. The first is located at http://www.egroups.com/, and
   actually carries (and allows to create) mailing lists, the second is a 
   a lists search engine located at http://www.liszt.com/, and the last
   is a directory of mailing lists located at http://paml.net/
