Is there a limit on line length in FreeBSD's /etc/hosts?
I'm not finding any mention of such a limit in hosts(5), but
characters beyond the first 660 or so seem to be ignored.
To answer the inevitable followup why would anyone need such
a long line in /etc/hosts:

I can easily suppress access to unwanted web sites by adding

My version of that line has gotten rather long :)

Is USENET coming to its end?
Yes, for better or worse. It's been a slow downward spiral since the
late 90's. I can't speak for other countries, but in the US the majority
of ISPs started dropping access as a cost cutting measure since your
average layman didn't really understand or use it.

Usenet was great. 'Was' because it really isn't there anymore.
Servers used to be widespread, you could use your ISP, your school,
your work, and failing that plenty of free ones even if for the
asking, even some public/open ones. Now there are very few, if any,
free servers and likely none are

On Windows, install the modem drivers and make it usable.
Then connect to the port on which it is installed using putty or
HyperTerminal. I am hoping you know how to do that.
Then type the commands:

atz ENTER
Disconnect modem and connect to FreeBSD. You will see the modem

There are still free news servers available. My ISP bundles usenet,

Why exactly is the bs=10240 is there? Wouldn't the default of 512
do just as well?
Modern systems can read and write far more than 512 bytes per operation.
Sticking with 512 would work perfectly fine, but you'd be imposing an
unnecessary bottleneck and the copy would be a lot
