Web/Internet tools and pointers http://home.eunet.no/~presno/bok/v6.html RDF is a basis for encoding and using data about documents or Web pages which purports to facilitate the automation of their processing. See: http://www.w3.org/RDF/ RealAudio Software tool that supports transmissions of real time, live or prerecorded audio. You can get satisfactory performance using a 14.400 bits/s modem. The client software is free. You can link to an Internet rock n roll station (like http://www.netradio.net/), set it to play, and then switch to your word processor for some real work while you listen. RadioTower Control Center (http://www.radiotower.com/) has links to radio stations around the world. RFC The Internet's Request for Comments document series. Working notes of the Internet research and development community. A document in this series may be on essentially any topic related to computer communication, and may be anything from a meeting report to the specification of a standard. Note: Once a document is assigned an RFC number and published that RFC is never revised or re issued with the same number. There is never a question of having the most recent version of a particular RFC. It is therefore important to make sure you have the most recent RFC on a given topic! You can retrieve most RFC texts at http://www.rfc editor.org/rfc.html, and search RFC documents at http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/rfc/index.html. In Spanish: http://lucas.hispalinux.es/htmls/estandares.html Shockwave Macromedia Shockwave: viewing of interactive multimedia content inside a Web browser. Hint: Shockwave files reside on the hard drive after they've been viewed, in the Internet Cache folder. You may view them offline with tools like the free and fabolous IrfanView. SLIP Serial Line Internet Protocol. A method for connecting to the Internet. SLIP systems can receive and transfer IP packets over a serial link, such as a dial up or private telephone line. IP (the Internet Protocol) is the most important of the protocols on which the Internet is based. It allows a packet to traverse multiple networks on the way to its final destination. See the "Personal Internet Access Using SLIP or PPP: How You Use It, How It Works," and the "PPP Client Howto" texts for more information. SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. The Internet standard protocol for transferring electronic mail messages from one computer to another. SMTP specifies how two mail systems interact and the format of control messages they exchange to transfer mail. SMTP mail servers do not authenticate the users when sending mail. Therefore, you can use any SMTP relay host to have your mail sent. Talk A command on the Internet, which may remind of IRC, but is a single link between two parties only. 12 of 16 23.11.2009 15:51
Web/Internet tools and pointers http://home.eunet.no/~presno/bok/v6.html TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Communications protocols that internetwork dissimilar systems connected to the Internet. TCP/IP supports services such as remote login (telnet), file transfer (FTP), mail (SMTP and POP). An old FAQ is available at: http://www iso8859 5.stack.net/pages/faqs/tcpip/tcpipfaq.html You should also take a look at ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/internet/tcp ip Telnet $ SURJUDP RQ WKH ,QWHUQHW WKDW DOORZV \RX WR H[HFXWH FRPPDQGV RQ UHPRWH FRPSXWHUV as though you were logged in locally. You can browse menus, read text files, use gopher services, and search online databases. Sometimes, you can join live, interactive games and chat with other callers. Usually, you cannot download files or list file directories. To set up a telnet connection, you need to know the name of the computer site you want to access and have a valid user name and password for that site. The site's name can be in words, like "VM1.NODAK.EDU," or a numeric address, like "134.129.111.1". Some services require that you connect to a specific "port" on the remote system. Enter the port number, if there is one, after the Internet address. Some telnet sites allow for guest logins. Guest accounts typically are restricted to the types of actions they can perform during a session. Although your telnet session is actually running software directly on the site's telnet computer, you will be running a program that prevents you from accessing the general capabilities of that computer. Once you are connected to a telnet site, you will often see a menu driven system which is under the control of the telnet site, and guides you through the actions you may perform at that site. Note: If you get a return message saying that the host was unknown or unavailable, first check if your address syntax was correct. If it is, try later. Also, your telnet address may have changed. Another common use of telnet is for users to be able to log into their computers from remote locations. In this case, users enter their own user names and passwords and, therefore, have the same user privileges they would have when logged in without using telnet. Accessing commercial services like CompuServe via telnet gives you the convenience and time savings of not having to log off and on as you move from one host system to another. There is normally no real time cost advantage, unless your location is closer to an Internet node than any of these services' regular access point. Telnet is not available to users who have email only access to the Internet. URL (Universal Resource Locator) A Universal Resource Locator is the address of any multimedia resource on the Internet. A sort of standardized description of the location of a given network resource, and the protocol used to access the resource. A URL may point to a WWW page file (an HTML file), a GIF image, an MPEG movie, an AU sound file, a ftp file or directory of files, a gopher menu, a Usenet news group, a telnet port, and so on. URLs identify the type and location of network and local resources. Many users with interactive connection to the Internet, use remote network resources through local programs. These programs are called local clients, and there are such programs for anonymous ftp, irc, Mosaic, WWW, and more. The local clients programs often require a terse, machine readable resource addressing format, called "Universal Resource Locater" (URL). It is a draft standard for 13 of 16 23.11.2009 15:51
