3. INTERNET TECHNOLOGY HANDBOOK

    The Internet Technology Handbook updates and expands the DDN Protocol
    Handbook.  It gathers a core set of RFCs, organizes them by networking
    topic, and provides an introductory explanation of each topic and each
    RFC's place within the scope of that topic.  A six volume set of more
    than 5,000 pages, the Handbook also includes a one year Internet
    Technology Subscription.  The Internet Technology Subscription ensures
    that the Handbook will remain up to date because new RFCs that pertain
    to the Handbook are sent quarterly, along with information that makes
    it easy to know where new information fits.

    SRI Price for the Handbook and a one-year Internet Technology
    Subscription:                          $785 domestic / $950 foreign
    Price for an individual volume:        $150 domestic / $175 foreign

    Your Information documents (FYIs, a subset of the RFCs), the GOSIP
    specification, and other protocol, security, and informational files.
    We also provide archives of technical mailing lists that discuss protocol
    implementation issues.

    IFIND, an easy to use search program, is included on each disk.  The
    search program works on both Unix and DOS systems.  It works by searching
    indexes made from all RFC, IEN, and FYI files, and all TCP-IP and
    Namedroppers mail messages.  As a free bonus, the CD includes public
    domain source code related to TCP/IP networking for those who do not
    have direct access to Internet file transfer capabilities.
