How can I read Usenet newsgroups which my newsserver does not carry?
If you are in Mainland China and you are interested in some groups which newsservers in Mainland China do not carry, you can try to connect your news reader to some newsservers outside the Mainland by setting the environmental variable “NNTPSERVER” to them and read news directly there. You can try “fconvx.ncifcrf.gov”, “newsserver.technet.sg” and “news.ifcss.org” as your NNTPSERVER. On the other hand, there are also some open news servers in Taiwan. Read the FAQ for “soc.culture.taiwan”, Internet part for details. Some of the newsservers are for reading only while some others also enable you to post.
