Bibliography
In addition to the resources already mentioned, there are several books which discuss getting on the Internet and Usenet and/or UUCP maintenance. Here's a bibliography of a few of them (some of these entries are culled from a book-list posting by Mitch Wright <mitch@cirrus.com> in comp.unix.questions): TITLE: Connecting to the Internet AUTHOR: Estrada, Susan PUBLISHER: O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. DATE: 1993 PAGES: 188 ISBN: 1-56592-061-9 APPROX_COST: 15.95 KEYWORDS: Internet SUGGESTED_BY: Jonathan Kamens <jik@security.ov.com> SUPPLIERS E-mail: nuts@ora.com Phone#: 1-800-338-NUTS AUTHOR: Albitz, Paul AUTHOR: Liu, Cricket: TITLE: DNS and BIND, PUBLISHER: O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. Date: October 1992. ISBN: 0-56592-010-4 SUGGESTED_BY: Chris Lewis <clewis@ferret.ocunix.on.ca> SUPPLIERS E-mail: nuts@ora.com Phone#: 1-800-338-NUTS TITLE: Managing UUCP and Usenet AUTHOR: O'Reilly, Tim AUTHOR: Todino, Grace SUBJECT: Introduction PUBLISHER: O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. DATE: 1990 PAGES: 289 ISBN: 0-937175-48-X APPROX_COST: 24.95 KEYWORDS: Nutshell Handbook SUGGESTED_BY: Mitch Wright <mitch@hq.af.mil> SUPPLIERS E-mail: nuts@ora.com Phone#: 1-800-338-NUTS The above book is the classic reference, but is now obsolete. It doesn't mention INN (or Taylor UUCP), and barely even discusses C news. I understand a new version is in the works by some of the most respected people in the field. TITLE: Unix Communications AUTHOR: Anderson, Bart AUTHOR: Costales, Barry AUTHOR: Henderson, Harry SUBJECT: Communication Reference PUBLISHER: The Waite Group DATE: 1991 PAGES: 736 ISBN: 0-672-22773-8 APPROX_COST: 29.95 KEYWORDS: UUCP, Usenet COMMENTS Covers everything the end user needs to know about email, Usenet and UUCP. TITLE: Using UUCP and Usenet AUTHOR: Todino, Grace AUTHOR: Dougherty, Dale SUBJECT: Introduction PUBLISHER: O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. DATE: 1990 PAGES: 210 ISBN: 0-937175-10-2 APPROX_COST: 21.95 KEYWORDS: Nutshell Handbook SUGGESTED_BY: Mitch Wright <mitch@hq.af.mil> SUPPLIERS E-mail: nuts@ora.com Phone#: 1-800-338-NUTS If you are going to be setting up a UUCP/modem Usenet site, you will probably find these books quite useful, especially if the UUCP documentation that comes with the OS you're running is sparse. The documentation that comes with Taylor UUCP is excellent, and well worth reading even if you're not using Taylor UUCP.
