Can someone tell me the various networks existing in the UNIX world? Or even better, guide me to a book referencing the networks? Thanks, Jay

You might want to take a look at ``Notable Computer Networks,'' in the October 1986 Communications of the ACM (Volume 29, Number 10, p. 932), by J. S. Quarterman and J. C. Hoskins. It's not unique to Unix (although Jay's inclusion of bitnet in the keywords makes one wonder if that's what he really wants anyway), but is fairly inclusive and is likely a good starting point.

There are literally hundreds of networks. What I would do is wait for John Quarterman's "The Matrix" to come out (in the next month? it's supposed to be soon...). It has the most in-depth coverage of networks that I've ever seen, and its bibligraphy will point you to just about anything else having to do with networks. jim frost software tool & die madd@std.com
