Many newsgroups can be read through bulletin boards, commercial online services, or through gateways from connected hosts (like from some BITNET hosts). A full list of available groups and conferences is normally available from hosts offering Netnews, and on NETNEWS servers. The Master List of Newsgroup Hierarchies lists all hierarchies (not the names of the newsgroups themselves) with a brief explanation of their affiliation, purpose or topic areas. Harley Hahn's Master List of Usenet Newsgroups lets you search by keyword for individual newsgroups. Also, you may browse lists of newsgroups by category and topic (example: Hobbies: Scale models: Model rockets). If you have a newsreader installed, the provided link will take you right to the messages. The FAQ "What is Usenet?" is regularly posted to news.admin.misc, and news.answers. Also, make sure you check out the Usenet Info Center Launch Pad. An online book titled "Netizens: On the History and Impact of Usenet and the Internet" is at http://www.columbia.edu/~hauben/netbook/.

The most common type of microcomputer today is called MS DOS computers (or IBM PC compatibles or IBM clones). Your computer should have enough memory for communication. Available memory impacts communications speed on many modern computers! You do not need a hard disk. Many do without. Not having one, however, means more work, and less room for storage of the nice things you may want to retrieve by modem. Personally, I want as much hard disk space as I can possibly get. When you have read the book, I guess you'll understand why. Others may want to delay the purchase of a hard disk until they can spare the money. If you can afford it, however, do it! It is a decision that you'll never regret. You must have a modem Some computers are always connected to a network. If this is your situation, then you probably have what you need already. The rest of us need a modem. A modem is a small piece of equipment that is translating the internal, electrical signals of the computer to sound codes. These codes can be sent over an ordinary telephone line. You may think of it as a type of Morse alphabet. In some places, a computer can be connected to the Internet and other networks through cable television networks. Cable modems use the same lines that transmit cable television to provide two way telecommunications. There are also ISDN and ASDL modems. Sometimes these are called Terminal 1 of 9 23.11.2009 15:50
