(Come to think of it, SLIP configuration is *not* user level stuff, so the advice to rely on your provider is likely good enough.) Part one gives background information and a solid guide to what you need, and where to get it. There are separate chapters for installation on Windows and Mac, and a very useful chapter on error messages. Part two covers the operation of Mosaic, itself, while part three details the use of Mosaic as a front end to ftp, Gopher, telnet, Usenet news, WAIS, finger and whois. There are also chapters on the other World Wide Web browsers, plus the mandatory list of Web sites to visit. Well written, helpful and aimed at a good audience level. copyright Robert M.
