Colorado SuperNet is pleased to offer a series of classes on networking topics.
Our goal is to help the Colorado online community grow and learn to use what 
the Internet offers more effectively.

Course Format.
  The courses are lectures, but the atmosphere is informal and questions are
  encouraged.  On-line demos are provided, but so far we haven't had enough
  demand for hands-on sessions to offer them.

  Custom classes can be arranged for large audiences.

Costs.
  Prices are listed in the individual class descriptions.  They include
  course materials, parking, and refreshments.

  If you are affiliated with a CSN Dedicated customer and wish to attend, 
  special arrangements might apply - contact us.

Registration.
  Sign-up is first come, first served.  Class size limited to 25.  A 
  waiting list will be maintained.  If it snows, call us to find out if 
  class is postponed, and we will do our best to reschedule.  If you need 
  to cancel you will receive a 100% refund up to two weeks before the class.

  Make checks payable to Colorado SuperNet.

When.
  The classes are usually taught on Tuesdays.  Some are repeated monthly, 
  some quarterly.

Where. 
  All classes are currently held at:	

    UC Boulder
    Computer and Networking Systems building
    3645 Marine St
    Boulder, CO

  From Hwy 36 take the Foothills Parkway exit and go 2-3 miles to Arapahoe.  
  Turn left (West) and take the next left (South) onto Marine St (which 
  happens to be 38th St to the North).  After 1/2 block it curves West; park 
  in the lot on the left.  Class is in the two story brick building on the 
  SW corner of Arapahoe and Marine.  The seminar room is straight back 
  (North) on the first floor.

  We plan to expand into other Colorado cities when possible.  

Parking.        
  Passes to the campus parking lot will be provided.  Come inside for one 
  to put on your rear view mirror.  Don't forget - campus police will ticket!

Internet 101 is a basic course for people new to the Internet.  

Course Description.
  The course begins with a general overview of the Internet - it's scope,
  what it offers, where it's headed.  Connection options (interactive, UUCP,
  SLIP, etc) are discussed.  

  The bulk of the time is spent on the four main on-line services of interest:
  electronic mail and addressing (featuring Elm), using the bulletin board 
  system called USENET or netnews (including ClariNet), telnetting (remote 
  login) to libraries and databases, and obtaining software and documentation 
  via ftp (file transfer).  

  No Unix experience is necessary - we provide a menu interface.

Prerequisites.
  None.

Time.
  This class lasts 3 hours.

Teacher(s).
  The class is being taught by Trent Hein and Herb Morreale, veterans
  of many years of administration with teaching experience at USENIX
  conferences.

Cost.
  The cost is $75 for members, $100 for non-members.

Internet 202 is geared towards Unix systems administrators who maintain a 
dialin link to the Internet (a separate course in the future will address 
dedicated links).

Course Description.
  The course covers installing and maintaining UUCP, SLIP, sendmail, C-News,
  the Domain Name System, and security issues.  Specifically:

    Configuring HDB UUCP
    Installing and Configuring IDA Sendmail
    Installing and Using SLIP on a SunOS 4.1.x Sun
    An Overview of the Domain Name System
    Installing and Maintaining C-News
    Securing your system for use in the Internet environment:
      Installing/Using COPS
      Installing/Using Crack

Prerequisites.
  Unlike one of our other classes (Internet 101), Internet 202 has
  definite prerequisites.  Attendees should have a thorough background 
  in basic Unix administration.  Specifically, they should be familiar 
  with the basic structure of the Internet, email and addresses, file 
  permissions, make(1), and basic user-level Unix Commands.

  If you're not sure where you fit in, try the attached quiz.

Time.
  This class lasts 7 hours.

Teacher(s).
  The class is being taught by Trent Hein and Herb Morreale, veterans
  of many years of administration with teaching experience at USENIX
  conferences.

Costs.
  The cost for this class is $300.

Quiz.
  Have you either:
      a) Used UNIX as a user for at least 6 months
   or b) Used UNIX as a user for at least 3 months and 
         also done basic system administration during 
         that time?                                       [y/n] ____

  Are you familiar with a text editor (vi or emacs)?      [y/n] ____

  Have you written a shell script (sh, csh, ksh)?         [y/n] ____

  Are you familiar with at least 6 options of 'ls'?       [y/n] ____

  Have you used 'ftp' before?                             [y/n] ____

  Do you know what 'wc' does?                             [y/n] ____

  Have you used pipes ('|') in the shell?                 [y/n] ____

  If you answered no to two or more of these questions, you may 
  not have the background assumed for this course.  You may want to 
  consider taking an introduction to Unix course first.
