Phase One Quiz

     We have now covered the major Internet services such as
telnet, ftp, archie, listserv and the like.  This brings us to
the end of phase one of this course.  What would a course segment
be without a test?  I certainly don't want anyone thinking I've
gone soft.  The following is a "Internet Scavenger Hunt."  Do as
instructed and send the results to me.  You may not use any
resources other that Internet (Bitnet) resources.  You may not
confer with others in this course to produce the information.  In
each case send me the details as to how you found the requested
information.

     To receive full credit for this quiz you must have the
results dated no later that midnight Wednesday July 22.  After
that date only half credit will be awarded up until midnight
Sunday July 26.

     Remember this is a W2 course (writing across the
curriculum.)  Writing style and content will count in the grading
of the quiz.
