List of FAQs

Faq Bookshelf

A FAQ is a list of the most frequenly asked questions by users who are new to the Internet, and their answers. By putting all the questions and answers in one place, it is hoped that FAQs will reduce the number of questions posted in Usenet (and elsewhere) asking the same questions over and over and over and...

Copies of most of these FAQ's are posted frequently to the newsgroup news.answers. If you want to avoid irritating other users, PLEASE read the FAQ before posting a question to Usenet asking for an answer.

Unfortunately, most FAQ's on the internet are written for the Unix user who is using a shell account, not for a PPP/SLIP subscriber to an ISP who is using a Point and Click Interface like the Macintosh or Windows. A future project may be to de-Unix these FAQs and make them understandable for recent ex-AOLers.
