Run, don't walk, to your nearest bookstore and buy a copy of LaQuey's
book, "Users' Directory of Computer Networks".  It is an
Internetworking Guide on steroids.

Note: I only suggest this because you mention users in your posting -
this is a valuable user resource, which is enhanced by The
Internetworking Guide.
