RFC 1036 will tell you just about everything that is documented about them.
It won't tell you anything about underlying transmission systems, e.g. uucp,
however.  You'll have to sort out a way of getting data from A to B.
(Usenet, like CSNet, is a logical network rather than a physical one --
it's not bound to any specific transmission medium.)
