    I have very little background in CS or EE, but am very interested
in learning more about TCP/IP in the hopes of writing interfaces
between my Mac at home and SparcStation at the lab. Any suggestions as to 
where I should start? I'd like to do something over ordinary phone lines
that would let me grab files and do mail (at home) just as if I were sitting
at work, maybe even eventually write some code allowing for the two boxes
to cooperate on processing tasks. If you have any ideas, send me e-mail, and
I'll post a digest of references people suggest.
