- 1. LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
-
- Announcement
-
- Introduction
-
- Information wanted
-
- 1.0 Important Announcement
-
- This is the beta-release HTML version of the FWI. Not all of it is
- html't yet, not all possible links to ftp sides etc. have been inserted,
- and probably there are damaged or out-dated links in it as well. Oh,
- yes, there is no decent TOC or index yet. You have been warned.
-
- Beginning with 1993 Aug 23, it will be frozen fortnightly and posted to
- the newsgroups comp.protocols.ppp, news.answers and comp.answers instead
- of the original text version. Due to the automatic translation, some
- relicts of hyperlinks might remain in it.
-
- It is also splitted in 8 parts, some of which are quite short, but I
- felt that ~1600 lines (last wc on the text version) is too much. You can
- check for changes in the text-version by looking a the last-modified:
- field of the postings.
-
- The major version number has been changed to 3.
-
- I'll be out of town (and country) for the 'til end of September, so
- don't expect fast reactions to your suggestions. i.s.
-
- 1.1 Introduction
-
- I took the Information in Ed Vielmetti's FAQ files, my personal
- experience, and lots of stuff from comp.protocols.ppp, and built a new
- document. Later, lots of people contributed at one or the other place.
-
- This document will be reposted fortnightly, as soon as it is fairly
- stable, and weekly till then. Changed sections should be marked in the
- Table of Contents with a ! or + for something got added or - for
- something got deleted.
-
- 1.2 Information Wanted
-
- If you have experience with anything mentioned here, or know of newer
- versions, or of versions of software for other hardware/OS, or ... send
- me mail. I'll include it and possibly mention your name, if you don't
- express otherwise.

- Solaris 2.1: it's slow, needs 200M of disk space and comes without C compiler,
- which makes it remarkably close to MS-Windows. oleg@gd.cs.csufresno.edu
