ROADMAP SYLLABUS

"Only the educated are free." -- Epictetus, Discourses

Thank you for your interest in the Roadmap for the Information Superhighway Internet training workshop!

While the workshop's distribution list is no longer accepting subscriptions, you can still get the Roadmap workshop lessons e-mailed to you!!

There are two ways that you can have the lessons sent to you: in individual files, or in one-week blocks.

If you have a small e-mail box, or if you only want to retrieve a particular Roadmap workshop lesson (say, for example, a lesson that you have accidentally thrown away), you can send an e-mail letter to

LISTSERV@UA1VM.UA.EDU

with the command

GET FILENAME FILETYPE F=MAIL

in the body of your e-mail letter, replacing the words FILENAME and FILETYPE with the filename and filetype for the particular lesson that you want to retrieve.

What is a "filename" and "filetype?" Well, look at the following

chart:
          filename  filetype  description
          --------  --------  -----------
          MAP01     LESSON    WELCOME
          MAP02     LESSON    LISTSERV FILE SERVER COMMANDS

The filename appears in the first column, and the filetype appears in the second column. So, the filename and filetype for the "WELCOME" message would be MAP01 LESSON, and the filename and filetype for the "LISTSERV FILE SERVER COMMANDS" lesson would be MAP02 LESSON

That's pretty easy. If you want to retrieve the lesson on LISTSERV file server commands, you would send an e-mail letter to

LISTSERV@UA1VM.UA.EDU

with the command

GET MAP02 LESSON F=MAIL

in the body of your e-mail letter. After you send your letter off, a computer at the University of Alabama will process your letter and will -- usually within 24 hours -- e-mail you the lesson(s) that you request!

Here is the COMPLETE list of every Roadmap lesson there is, in the order that they were sent out:

          MAP27     LESSON     THE FUTURE ...

EEEK! That's a *LOT* of files. There HAS to be an easier way to get these files than by sending thirty-five GET FILENAME FILETYPE F=MAIL commands!

There is! You can now get the lessons e-mailed to you in one-week blocks, simply by sending an e-mail letter to

LISTSERV@UA1VM.UA.EDU

with the command

GET WEEK# PACKAGE F=MAIL

in the body of your e-mail letter, replacing the # with the week number of the block that you want to retrieve.

For example, to get all of these "WEEK2" files e-mailed to you

          WEEK2
          filename  filetype  description
          --------  --------  -----------
          MAP03     LESSON    LEVELS OF INTERNET CONNECTIVITY
          MAP04     LESSON    E-MAIL
          MAP05     LESSON    LISTSERVS
          MAP06     LESSON    OTHER MAIL SERVERS
          MAP07     LESSON    NETIQUETTE

all you have to do is send an e-mail letter to

LISTSERV@UA1VM.UA.EDU

with the command

GET WEEK2 PACKAGE F=MAIL

in the body of your e-mail letter. After you send your letter off, a computer at the University of Alabama will process your letter and will -- usually within 24 hours -- e-mail you the particular one-week block of lessons that you request.

Of course, you should request the WEEK1 lessons first, then the WEEK2 lessons, then the WEEK3 lessons, and so on ...

I do need to ask you a favor, though. Please only get one week's lessons at a time. I know that there is a great temptation for you to get all of the lessons at once, but that will place a great deal of strain on the University of Alabama's system. The University of Alabama has been kind enough to store these lessons so that you can retrieve them -- we need to repay their kindness by keeping the demand on their system to a minimum.

Thank you again for your interest in the Roadmap workshop, and I hope that you will enjoy the lessons!
