Description

This article is from the AmiTCP/IP FAQ, by Mike Meyer with numerous contributions by others.

1: Introduction

This Document is the AmiTCP/IP Frequently Asked Questions and their
answers (I hope ;-). I decided to create this after I got my Amiga
connected through AmiTCP/IP, and I found the same questions being asked
again and again, I also found myself to be answering some of them :-) 
This FAQ will be posted semimonthly to: news.answers <news:news.answers>,
comp.answers <news:comp.answers>, comp.sys.amiga.datacomm
<news:comp.sys.amiga.datacomm>, comp.sys.amiga.applications
<news:comp.sys.amiga.applications> and comp.sys.amiga.networking
<news:comp.sys.amiga.networking>. 
The current version of this FAQ is available via the World Wide Web, in
either ascii text <http://www.phone.net/ATCPFAQ/amitcp.txt> or HTML
<http://www.phone.net/ATCPFAQ/amitcp.html> formats. 
If you obtain this FAQ from any source other than those listed, there is a
chance that it is out of date, and you should try the listed sources for a
current version. 
I have prepared a brief description of how the FAQ is prepared,
<http://www.phone.net/ATCPFAQ/FAQ.html> and a searchable version is in the
works. 
If you have any suggestions, queries or corrections please send email to
me <mailto:atcpfaq@contessa.phone.net> and I will do my best to answer it.
I hope this document is helpful to new people and experienced people alike
and answers some queries that they may have. 
This FAQ is not a guide to TCP/IP. If you want that look for TCP/IP books
in your bookstore or search the Internet for Information, which is where
most of the information in this document came from. Also, this FAQ is also
not a guide to the Internet. 
I have explained briefly some of the Internet protocols but they are very
basic explanations and I have only included them because they bear some
relevance to AmiTCP/IP. 
Throughout this FAQ, AmiTCP/IP is refered to as AmiTCP, and "SLIP/PPP or
other dialup protocol" will commonly be referred to as "dialup".
