A Tralinet Guide to the Internet

Abstract

Everyone seems to be talking about the Internet now. It's the hot topic at conferences, it's in all the journals. But talk to the Army community and, and you will find a very small number of them are actually using the Internet in any meaningful way. There's reason for that, in fact many reasons. The first is that the Internet is not so easy to use. It requires access, which not all have. It is very diffuse-many resources, scattered over thousand of computers, and there are no directories. Even worse, if you actually manage to overcome the access problem and find information you want, the computer sneers at you in language you haven't heard before, and your keyboard doesn't work right. This manual will help you overcome some of those problems. We've identified a few sample resources that may actually be of some assistance to your work. We've identified some techniques that will make it a little easier to connect up to certain computers. We've tried to relate the Internet to TRADOC, and TRADOC host computers. We've tried to give some sense of the widening horizons that the Internet can give us, and the unmanageable masses of data we can access
