If you have a machine with a minimum of a 386 CPU, 4 meg of RAM, a CD reader,
either an Ethernet connection to the Internet or a modem, and either DOS
5.0/Windows 3.1 or UNIX (SunOS 4.1 preferred), then:
 
For seasoned Internauts, this has FYI, RFC, IEN and IETF documents.  (For
newcomers, these are the primary reference documents for the design and
development of the Internet.)  There are also archives of the BIND,
namedroppers and TCP/IP mailing lists.
 
For Internet newbies, this has SLIP software and email, gopher, telnet, ftp and
WAIS clients.  The book, itself, could say an awful lot more about SLIP and how
to set it up, although this is partially rectified by a SLIP (sort of) FAQ. 
There is a very brief chapter describing the various Internet applications.
 
For the technically dauntless, there is a version of Linux, with everything.
 
All of this material *is* available on the Internet.  It is, however, here in a
compact starter set.
