| 1409.1 | Would like to know more about WWW... | FAILTE::ROBSONB | | Fri Jul 01 1994 12:27 | 16 |

Hi Jaak,
I have a book ("The Whole Internet Users Guide and Catalogue",
by Ed Krol) from which I understood that Uniform Rescource Locators
(URL's) need to be constructed by the user, for example,
ftp rescources: file://internet-name/remote-path
where 'internet-name' is the name of the server.
Is this correct, and would a listing of Atari related ftp sites
be of any use - I extracted a listing which appeared quite recently
on usenet.
I'd like to know more about WWW, I seem to recall reading somewhere
recently that someone is working on an Atari port of 'Mosaic' (?)
Brian :-)

| 1409.3 | WWW requires TCP/IP connection and Address.... | FAILTE::ROBSONB | | Mon Jul 11 1994 09:31 | 13 |

Thanks, that looks interesting. As far as I understand it
however, use of WWW requires a 'realtime' connection to Internet,
running TCP/IP and with a TCP/IP Internet address. Although I believe
this can be achieved by subscribing to a commercial service such as
'Demon' here it the U.K. (apparantly when connected to this service,
the user is set up as an Internet node with a specific TCP/IP address)
it's all a bit complicated for me at present, and I'm not entirely
sure whether a port of 'Mosaic' or 'Lynx' for the Atari will actually
materialise.

| 1409.4 | TCP/IP available for Atari | MUNSBE::BFALKENSTEIN | | Tue Jul 12 1994 11:08 | 25 |

Well, TCP/IP is available for the Atari. It is in the KA9Q package
with NOS, and the serial line Internet protocol SLIP seems to work
ok. There are also some point programs which give you access to the
newsgroups and mail as offline readers. For ftp and telnet you need
a online Internet access which you will get from providers usually
connected to universities. In Germany it costs about 50.- DM per month
plus telephone costs. From the provider you'll get a domain name for
your computer. I might upload the complete package of TCP/IP tools
and point programs for the Internet if there is demand.
As far as I understood some kind soul in the Atari users community is
porting Mosaic. The sources for various platforms are available from
NCSA via ftp, so this should not be the problem.
For the URLs: it's not enough to construct a URL to a Internet node.
There must be a valid HTML document on that node which provides the
hyperlinks to other sources in the net. Otherwise you can't access
that node via WWW. The HTML document is part of the URL tho, so the URL
is at least what you need to access the node via WWW.
Cheers,
Bernd
