Fundamental groups of symmetric sextics. II
  We study the moduli spaces and compute the fundamental groups of plane sextics of torus type with the set of inner singularities $2\bold{A}_8$ or $\bold{A}_{17}$. We also compute the fundamental groups of a number of other sextics, both of and not of torus type. The groups found are simplest possible, i.e., $\Bbb{Z}_2*\Bbb{Z}_3$ and $\Bbb{Z}_6$, respectively.
