• Electronic mail. If you are a Bendigo student, this should be your preferred method of contacting your lecturer, whose email address is: P.Scott@latrobe.edu.au.
   
  Email Protocol: Note that you should always (ALWAYS!) use a subject line of the form:

  Subject: [INT21CN] rest of subject line
  
  

  if you want to ensure that I read your mail. Exercise: why?
   
  It is official policy of the Department of IT that all email communication regarding academic matters should be conducted using your Student Online email address. This rule will not be enforced in Computer Networks, provided you put the subject code in the Subject: line, as above. Non-compliant messages may be discarded by the lecturer's spam filters.

  Note: later in the semester I will be distributing a guide to electronic submission of assignments. The email address for assignment submission is different from your lecturer's normal email address. Do not attempt to send ordinary email to the assignment submission address.

• The World Wide Web (WWW). The canonical Internet URL for this subject is:
   
  http://ironbark.bendigo.latrobe.edu.au/subjects/int21cn/
   
  The subject Web pages have all of the lecture material, tutorial work sheets, practical exercises, and news about the subject. You should check (at least) the subject home page regularly. Note that lecture/tute material is now (experimently for 2004) updated in place.
• Newsgroup: latrobe.bendigo.comp.dcom -- not much used anymore, and only accessible from within La Trobe anyway.
