-----------------------------------------------------------
        I am done a series of article entitled "The current
        Usenet report". These articles, written in Chinese, are
        totally written from  users' point of view, instead of the
        technical one. (I, in fact, have few ideas how to set
        thing up for low level transportation).

        These artilces are basically to help you HOW TO ACCESS TO
        USENET RESOURCE, or say how to benefit from joining it.
        The other aim is also to help raise the Netnews populations
        for people in Taiwan (users on Taiwan Internet, in other word).
        It lists a lot of examples for those useful documents
        dynamically retrieved from Usenet itself. These artilces
        should be especially useful for people under Taiwan Internet,
        because it ends with a conclusion on "The Usenet under
        Taiwan Internet". Everything that the author refers is
        also available via either FTP or ftp-mail server. You will
        be told how to retrieve them at the end of the artilce
        with actual examples again.

        Please also note that, these articles are based on the
        author's limited experiences plus a lot of support materials
        retreived from Usenet itself mostly. The
        author doesn't trust everything he knew/heard is
        applicable/correct, so that your comments/corrections
        are very appreciated.

           The following details the contents of these artilce.
