Soon to be released is Gaelyne's "Internet For Commodore users".

Don't let the name fool you though, almost everything in it is also

applicable to other computers too.  The only thing you'll find missing

is instructions on how to point & click, and how to setup a PPP/SLIP

account (Cos C= users don't have this ability yet). The book assumes

you will be using a Unix shell account, but it doesn't assume any

prior knowledge of Unix commands.



It covers all the main "Internet" topics, such as Telnet, FTP, Email,

Newsgroups, IRC (chat) etc, etc.



Contact Gaelyne Gasson for more info.







Cheers,

Rod
