Basic Internet Concepts

The following sections will give a basic overview of some of the things you can do with a CompuAll Internet dial-up access account. By no way is this list exhaustive and it is no substitute for a good book on the Internet.

File Transfer Protocol
File Transfer Protocol (commonly referred to as "FTP") is a method of downloading or uploading software from one location to another. For example, you may want to get the newest version of Netscape Navigator from the Netscape Corp.. To do this you would open up a FTP client, connect to the remote host (a 'host' is a computer on the internet that serves a purpose (software downloads, web pages, etc.)), find the file that you want, and download it.

Telnet
Telnet is a method of connecting to a remote host and becoming a node on that hosts network. This may be useful for on-line demonstrations, connecting to a Bulletin Board System (more commonly referred to as a BBS), etc....

Usenet News Groups
Usenet news is a place where individuals can exchange information, have questions answered, and learn about different things in a variety of subjects. It is interesting to note that with Usenet news you can post a question on just about any subject and receive advice from many different people, many of them experts in their fields (This is like getting free technical support from computer professionals, doctors, lawyers, etc). Currently there are over 13,000 news groups and you will be able to view all of them with a CompuAll dial-up account.

Internet Relay Chat
Internet Relay Chat (commonly referred to as "IRC") is a real time chat room on the Internet. This is the same type of chat room that has made the large on-line services famous. The difference from the large on-line services chat rooms and the Internet's IRC is that with IRC you can start your own room and talk about what ever you want without fear of censorship or even worse a disconnect or loss of account privileges.

Electronic Mail
Electronic Mail or E-Mail is probably the most used feature that the Internet offers. You will be able to send and receive unlimited e-mail with a CompuAll Internet account. This means that you can bypass the US Postal services high fees and have instantaneous contact with anyone on the Internet, anywhere in the world.

Gopher
Gopher is a method of finding and/or searching for information on the Internet. Gopher has been superseded by the World Wide Web.

Archie
Archie is a method of finding specific files on the Internet, if you know the name of the file you want, Archie will find it for you.

World Wide Web
The World Wide Web is the fastest growing part of the Internet. It is where you can find information on any subject, topic, or point on interest. With a CompuAll Internet dial-up account you will be able to view the Web graphically with web browsers like the Netscape Navigator, the Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mosaic, or a multitude of other browsers.
