Certain sections in this booklet are not my original work---rather,
they are derived from documents that were available on the Internet
and already aptly stated their areas of concentration. The chapter on
Usenet is, in large part, made up of what's posted monthly to
news.announce.newusers, with some editing and rewriting. Also,
the main section on archie was derived from whatis.archie
by Peter Deutsch of the McGill University Computing Centre. It's
available via anonymous FTP from archie.mcgill.ca. Much of
what's in the telnet section came from an impressive introductory
document put together by SuraNet. Some definitions in the one are
from an excellent glossary put together by Colorado State University.
This guide would not be the same without the aid of many people on The Net, and the providers of resources that are already out there. I'd like to thank the folks who gave this a read-through and returned some excellent comments, suggestions, and criticisms, and those who provided much-needed information on the fly. Glee Willis deserves particular mention for all of his work; this guide would have been considerably less polished without his help.
