USENET Newsgroups
Please note that our community Usenet service is based on our good will.
The contents of articles posted via this service have nothing to
do with IFCSS or IFCSS CCIC. Further, we cannot prevent malicius
user from abusing Usenet, such as forging postings, via this service
-- a price we pay to serve legitimate users, and we are not liable
to any consequence of such an abuse. If you discover an abuse,
please save the ENTIRE article and
inform us at
sys-admin@ifcss.org. Usually the "NNTP-Posting-Host:" header
can give you some hint on where the article originates.
You can read Usenet articles stored in your local news-servers or from here.
The former is faster and is preferred; and the latter is
slower. So, set your NNTP server in the WWW browser to your
local news server and choose the fast option below first.
If they do not show you news articles, choose the slow
option. It's recommended
that you read FAQ first before plunging in. News in Chinese are indicated
by their coding scheme (HZ, GB or Big5). When reading these newsgroups
you may have
to switch your default coding to GB, HZ or Big5. Check out the
Chinese Software Primer to learn the basics of
Chinese software.
