I have seen FreeBSD packages for cpine, celvis, cxterm and ctin on
the netbsd.csie.nctu.edu.tw FreeBSD mirror site, but I don't believe
the author has submitted those to the general ports/packages
collection. From what I can tell, Taiwanese users tend to stick to
the tw.bbs.* newsgroups (which are in Chinese) and rarely wander out
into the larger comp.* world. In fact, I've received mail more than
once from Taiwanese university students who exclaimed "I did not know
you could get Usenet in Taiwan!" (meaning groups other than tw.*).
Too bad, since there seems to be useful software being developed over
there (I'm in Toronto at the moment, for those who know me from my .tw
address). jdli@csie.nctu.edu.tw is the maintainer.
