RFC 1739: A Primer On Internet and TCP/IP Tools

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 2151.

Current version: RFC 2151 — A Primer On Internet and TCP/IP Tools and Utilities

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This memo is an introductory guide to some of the TCP/IP and Internet tools and utilities that allow users to access the wide variety of information on the network, from determining if a particular host is up to viewing a multimedia thesis on foreign policy. It also describes discussion lists accessible from the Internet, ways to obtain Internet documents, and resources that help users weave their way through the Internet. This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
