Sams Introduces Warp Internet Book
____________________________________
The latest book from author Herb Tyson is a step-by-step guide to
using OS/2 Warp's new BonusPak Internet Access Kit. It covers
connecting to the Internet using the IBM Internet Connection
(Advantis) and other Internet providers, as well as the BonusPak tools
provided for using the service: UltiMedia Mail/2, NewsReader/2,
Gopher, WebExplorer, FTP-PM, and Telnet. The book also documents
other BonusPak Internet tools such as ping, nslookup, hostname, and
finger.
The book is an excellent companion for IBM's Warp BonusPak CD-ROM,
