ROFLMAO! Before Arpanet, there was NOTHING. Usenet didn't exist! It
functioned over Arpanet.
Caught you in another lie.
Sorry, wrong answer Mr Expert At Everything.
USENET news was originally distributed via UUCP and dial up modems.
The first USENET connection to the ARPANET was through UC Berkley in 1980.
It wasn't until the late 80's that USENET started to migrate away from
UUCP and modems to NNTP and network links.
FWIW, I was a UUCP leaf node in the early 80's.
Wrong answer. Usenet was started under ARPANET in the early to mid
70's. Before that ARPANET was used mainly for email and ftp. The email
evolved into email lists, but something more was needed, which lead to
the forerunners of NNTP servers.
These were very basic; really not much more than an open email reader.
No threading, for instance. But it served its purpose in that it
allowed people to post a message and have it retrieved. Later came some
niceties such as threading.
You may have accessed it via a modem, but those of us who were on
ARPANET had direct access to it.
