[net.news] General Questions About The Net

mwh@mhuxv.UUCP (01/23/84)

I am relatively new to the net and I don't know how to fully use it.  Could
someone be kind enough to tell me some ins and outs of the net or how to get 
hold of some solid documentation.  Also how can you send mail over the net 
without giving a long list of machine names.  Lastly does anybody know of a  
net map or an easy way to find out positively whether a computer is on the net 
or not?
