<P>More specific information for certain ISPs is available from a
variety of sources:

<H2><A NAME="ss8.1">8.1 How do I learn more?</A>
</H2>
<P>The Linux Documentation Project book called Linux
Network Administrator's Guide by Olaf Kirch is pretty
mandatory for anyone that will set up and maintain anything
involving TCP/IP and Internet
<P><CODE>
<A HREF="ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/linux-doc-project/network-guide/nag-1.0.ascii.tar.gz">ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/linux-doc-project/network-guide/nag-1.0.ascii.tar.gz</A></CODE>
<P>The documentation that follows each software package will
normally give you all the detailed information you need, if not
always the overview. The man-pages will be the first place to
look. Try for instance:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
man pppd
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>You will also find some documentation about certain programs in
the
<!--
/usr/doc
-->
/usr/doc tree, although
this is not always well structured.
<P>The following HOWTOs will be highly relevant:
<P>
<UL>
<LI> <B>Installation-HOWTO</B> will get the basics
sorted.</LI>
<LI> <B>NET-2-HOWTO</B> is a very thorough
description of installation and setup of the NET code. Much of
this should already have been done if you use a standard Linux
distribution (e.g. Slackware, Red Hat, Debian). But many
sections on setup and troubleshooting will be very worthwhile.</LI>
<LI> <B>Mail-HOWTO</B> explains how to configure
various tools. Again, much of this will already have been done
for you when you install a standard Linux distribution.</LI>
<LI> <B>News-HOWTO</B> is for setting up a
(conventional) news spool.</LI>
<LI> <B>Tiny-News</B> covers yet another
alternative for collecting news.</LI>
<LI> <B>PPP-HOWTO</B> is a good description of
problems you may encounter when setting up a PPP connection.</LI>
<LI> <B>Serial-HOWTO</B> contains everything you
need to know about setting up serial ports.</LI>
<LI> <B>Mail-Queue</B> tells you how to send up
<I>sendmail</I> to always queue remote mail but deliver local
mail at once.</LI>
</UL>
<P>Red Hat has a mailing list for PPP issues; to join
send an email to
