NEWSGROUPS
Newsgroups are sometimes a rich source of information about the
Internet, networks, and CMC issues. This section lists newsgroups in which
topics related to networks, the Internet, or CMC are discussed. Watch for
(FAQ) = periodic posting of Frequently Asked Questions.
SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY
This section lists useful information sources. For the sake of
compactness, the book list here is short. For longer lists, see the online
or paper bibliographies available. I've prepared a list of many books and
article readings in CMC and computer networking. That file is the CMC
December bibliography, listed below.
