In the previous chapter I've introduced all the basic concepts necessary for setting up networking even in non-trivial environments. Here, I will show you how to bring your machine up to use networking-applications such as finger, FTP and telnet.
Throughout this chapter, I'll use DUSK (see Picture 1) as an example for a host hooked up to an ethernet based network, and the connection between DUSK and NOON will show how to set up PPP and SLIP.
