E-mail E-mail: Introduction
Connecting to the Internet
Connecting to the Internet is a basic overview of the Internet: how it works and how to establish a connection. You learn why you need special software or additional computer setup to access the Internet. We discuss accessing the Internet with a direct Ethernet connection or through a dial-in connection and a modem. We explain software programs such as Eudora, WS_FTP, and Fetch* and define terms such as TCP/IP, IP address, and client-server. Even if you are already connected to the Internet to send e-mail or browse the Web, this class will help you understand the basics of communicating on the Internet. www.cc.ukans.edu/acs/docs/wkshon/connect.shtml
