The "NetBSD/amiga Beginner's Guide to TCP/IP Networking and Networking-FAQ", 2nd Edition

After quite some time, I've had the time to make an update on the Networking FAQ to reflect the chances made in NetBSD V1.2. The second edition contains lots of smaller enhancements, as well as sections on the following topic:

Arcnet, technical stuff and setup
Setting up SLIP and PPP both manually and automatic (using bsddip and chat)
Setting up the system as NIS client
Setting up `/net' with amd
List of URLs for secure telnet/rlogin sessions, WWW-servers and -proxies as well as firewalls.
How to deal with 'silo overflows'
What is proxy-arp, how to use it

The FAQ is available from ftp.uni-regensburg.de in the directory /pub/NetBSD-Amiga/docs/Networking-FAQ. Available versions are:

Texinfo-source (nwf.texi)
PostScript (nwf.ps)
Info-format (nwf.info, nwf.info-*)
Plain ASCII (nwf.txt, pic1.txt, pic2.txt, pic3.txt)
HTML (nwf_toc.html, nwf_*.html)
Everything in a single .tar.gz file (350kB)

The HTML-version is also reachable via WWW: http://rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de/~feyrer/NetBSD/NWF/nwf_toc.html.

This should be enough versions to fit everyone's needs. ;-) If someone wants to recreate the above versions from scratch, the Makefile, a self-written script and (enhanced :-) texi2html have also been put onto the FTP-Server. A simple "make all" should rebuild everything.
