hypertext is a term used of linking related information.
Some information providers on the Internet run programs that will let you access
hypertext. Examples: Lynx, Mosaic.
You use a special HTTP browser program to access the information. Examples:
Netscape, Internet Explorer.
IMAP
The Internet Mail Access Protocol (originally Interactive Mail Access Protocol) offers easier
administration and more power than the old POP 3RVW 2IILFH 3URWRFRO ,W OHW \RX
remotely manipulate your mailbox on the mail host without having to retrieve it to your
local PC first. You can access email stored on multiple hosts and in multiple folders on
one host.
IMAP allows for the creation of hierarchical folders on the remote server, where
POP3 creates local folders. Messages can be stored, sorted, filtered, and managed on the
server, making it possible for users to maintain a system of folders that they can access
from multiple computers.
Client programs can resynchronize mailboxes with the server, so that messages
transferred to folders or deleted will appear in (or disappear from) each client's view. All
clients display the same messages.
More information: RFC 1730 and RFC 1733.
International Standard Top level Country codes
Top level country codes derived from the International Standards Organization's
international standard ISO 3166. For a current list, retrieve the International E mail
FAQ. It is regularly being posted to the comp.mail.misc, comp.mail.uucp,
news.newusers.questions, alt.internet.services, alt.answers, comp.answers, and
news.answers newsgroups.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is
working on introducing seven new top level domains (TLDs) to supplement the familiar
.com, .edu. .gov, and so on. The new domains will be .info, .biz, .name, .pro, .museum,
.coop, and .aero.

IP (Internet Protocol)
The Internet standard protocol that provides a common layer over dissimilar networks,
used to move packets between host computers and through gateways if necessary.
TCP/IP packets are the basic units of communication across the Internet. The
information they carry includes your system's IP address, the IP address of the server
you're trying to contact, and data communicated (like the contents of a World Wide
Web document). Routing information is added to the packets along the way.
For more information, see http://info.internet.isi.edu/in notes/rfc/files/rfc791.txt.
IP Address
Every machine on the Internet has a unique address, called its Internet number or IP
address. Usually, this address is represented by four numbers joined by periods ('.'), like
129.133.10.10.
The first two or three pieces represent the network that the system is on, called its
subnet. For example, all the computers for Wesleyan University in the U.S.A. are in the
subnet 129.133, while the number in the previous paragraph represents a full address to
one of the university's computers.
