Unfortunately, this book is already outdated, but it still offers
an invaluable resource and manual for novices and more experienced
Internet users. Apparently there will be a new version of this book
somewhere this year, so look out for it.
Other books are ‘The Internet Companion’, ‘Internet: Getting Started’,
‘Internet Unleashed’, ‘The Internet Guide for New Users’ and a lot more.
Look for them in your local bookstore.

Almost all of the information in these books is also available on-line through various documents
like the MaasInfo files, Zen and the Art of the Internet, The HitchHiker’s Guide to the Internet,
The Big Dummy’s Guide to the Internet, the on-line version of The.Internet.Companion, the
Internet Resource Guide and a whole number of FAQs, RFCs and the like.

The MaasInfo and Big Dummy’s Guide files appear to be the most recent of
these kind of files (look for info on where to get them in the
sitelisting itself or try mailing to netguide@eff.org, that should send
you the Big Dummy’s Guide in a number of parts).
Another source for information might be the magazine Internet World,
from Meckler Corp. (info@mecklermedia.com).

I’m not affiliated with any of the publishers, authors or anyone
mentioned above, but I bought some of the books and like them.

Caselet file transfer
s there any software to send files from one machine to another just like ftp? But it
should have a provision for dialling the telephone number to which my destination
Isystem is connected. And after getting connected, I should be able to send my file. In
effect, without getting connected to the Internet, I should be able to perform the file transfer
operation with an ordinary telephone call. Is this possible? Please explain.

There is software available for this, the most popular being the Norton PC AnyWhere,
which allows you to connect to another computer and send files by dialling through the
Telephone. ((http://www.symantec.com/pcanywhere/)
You can also use an inbuilt utility in your O/S called HYper Terminal.You can find it in
Start-Programs-Accessories- Communication-Hyper Terminal.
