Usenet is non-comercial UNIX network via UUCP. Usenet News is freely available from any news server which is connected to Usenet.(Internet is also connected to Usenet) News servers distribute their incoming newses and outgoing newses via special protocol called NNTP.(Network News Transfer Protocol) You only have to install 'rn' package. And set your news server as kum.kaist.ac.kr(maybe 128.134.1.1??). And just type 'rn <return>', and take a cup of coffee until it prints something. Hope this may help.
