You need a class in networking and reliable (fault tolerant) computing.
The first thing they teach you in a networking class is that networks
are not reliable: hence why they have lots of error detection, correction, etc.
The Usenet in particular should not be regarded as reliable. News is
a low priority service. There are news groups devoted to fault-tolerant
computing (you should follow up to there to learn about the problems.
You have problems with the "physical" layer. Well, for
that matter, the higher levels are susciptable in a security sense.
