I really think Dave Crocker or Ungermann-Bass should publish his
tutorial on TCP/IP.  It's brief, but complete, technical, but
accessible.  By the way, it was distributed in the  conference binder
at the recent U-B Net/One user group conference in Cambridge, MA in
May.  I am not sure of the copyright status of this draft, so maybe I
shouldn't be encouraging distribution.  (If U-B knew it was valuable
their marketing people would put a $79.95 price tag on it :-)  But
it's too valuable a contribution to just let it sit there unnoticed
and undistributed.

What do you say, Dave?
