Looks good! The correct name of the newsgroup is comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc, if we're talking about the same one. You might want to extend the list of newgroups even further, noting that there are newsgroups for various software. There's a newsgroup for newsreaders, for pine, for shells (comp.unix.shells, I think) and so forth, as well as newsgroups for programming languages, hardware, and so forth. The newuser tutorial is also available at http://andrsn.stanford.edu/newuser.html, and by anonymous ftp in either postscript or rich text format at ftp andrsn.stanford.edu in the pub directory, which are good for printing. Finally, it would be useful to have a description of where to go (maybe the answer is as simple as the tutorial; I'm not sure) to get the information on configuring ppp. This seems to be something virtually everyone needs to do and it is the MFAQ--the most frequently asked question.
