- Get ka9q from tsx-11 or wherever. It is the fastest, easiest way to
- get connected. It will give you ftp, telnet, and remote X11. The
- readme is very easy to follow. Remote X11 is very nice over a
- 14.4Kbps modem with V.42 compression.
-
- Once you are up to speed with ka9q, join the NET and SLIP mailing
- lists. Lots of changes are afoot.
