The Internet network is the largest computer network in the world. It can be accessed by a telephone line and a modem. Its different functions are the electronic mail (e-mail), the discussion forums ("newsgroups"), the transfer of files and the navigation between "hypertext" pages ("World Wide Web"). This network offers multiple services for pathology: access to databases, consultation of image banks or electronic journals, teleteaching, informations about congresses and societies, participation to thematic forums. We have connected to this network on October 1995 a french-english web site called "Anapath Web" (http://www.anapath.necker.fr) devoted to pathology. Its purpose is to collect information useful to pathologists and to develop specific applications. We are conceiving several projects for teleteaching.
