4.0 out of 5 stars Helps you get the courage to connect, November 26, 2000
This review is from: Connecting to the Internet: A Buyer's Guide (Paperback)
This book contains practical advice on getting Internet access for the home, school or office. Some of the later connection methods are not in this dated book. However the basic information is still sound. It is not aware of VPN however it does tell the difference in PPP and SLIP. There are lots of diagrams and charts. No mention of shell accounts.
