2923.0. "Internet locations" by GIDDAY::KNIGHTP (There's room for you inside) Thu Apr 28 1994 03:40

    I 	have just discovered the wonderfull world of internet, ftp'ing
    stuff.  Boy is this great.
    
    	So how do I find out where all the good stuff is, is there a
    common directory for public domain stuff somewhere on the internet.
    How do you guys come up with your locations?

2923.1Some pointersSSDEVO::LAMBERTI made life easy just by laughingThu Apr 28 1994 20:437
   For guitar/music related stuff see ftp.nevada.edu.  See also topic 2143
   (esp. 2143.10) in this conference for some listings.  There's also the
   newsgroups themselves, which often list pointers to new ftp sites
   (alt.guitar, alt.guitar.bass, rec.music.*, etc).

2923.2Baby Steps Please.MASALA::WATSONTFri Apr 29 1994 04:3610
    	
    	I am very computer/network illiterate,so could someone perhaps
    	post a beginners guide to accessing and using internet?
    
    	I am leaving DEC at the end of next week,and would like to be able
    	to do this stuff before I move on.I`ve been told that I should be
        able to do this when I move as they are on a vax network,which I do
    	know to be the case as vaxmail can be sent between sites.

2923.3 maybe not appropriate, but EZ2GET::STEWARTFight fire with marshmallowsFri Apr 29 1994 12:5313
    
    
    Price Club has a book called something like "The Idiot's Guide to the
    Internet" for $8.95, and there are zillions of other books out there,
    too.  Since you're just starting out, why not join Compuserve, America
    On-Line, or one of the other commercial systems.  They can all do
    E-mail to/from the Internet, and some of them can do file transfers.
    
    Before you go, collect the E-mail (VAXmail) addresses of the people
    within DEC that you'll want to reach.
    
    Good luck, Tom!

   See also the notes conference SOFBAS::INTERNET_TOOLS.  A little digging
   there will teach you about getting around on the Internet.  It's a lot
   easier if you've got an ULTRIX or OSF/1 node, but if not it can be done
   from a VMS system (with UCX installed).

    Guitar notes until the end.
