Um, if you have access to anonymous ftp, you can download the Electronic
Frontier Foundations, ``Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet.'' It is a text
only document that will give you a good foothold. It was last updated in
October of 93, so it is fairly current.
Look for it at gatekeeper.dec.com /.3/net/info/big-dummys-guide
or osprey.telcom.arizona.edu /NETWORKS.DIR;1/INTERNET.DIR;1.
