I am very confused. Can someone send to me a document explaining the nature
of these networks upon which mail/posts/etc. are flying back-and-forth? For
example, I would like to know:
1. What is the format of all of these addresses that I see? I.e.,
what is "cts.com" in my address?
2. What are BITNET, USENET, ARPANET, etc.?
3. What is uucp?
4. How do smart mailers know such complex networks that must be
in a state of constant flux?
5. How are unique node names maintained?
6. Is there a "God" of the networks who tends to all these matters?
7. Who pays the bill?
8. Millions of other questions to make my ignorance complete.
Thanks!
