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.
You have that exactly backward.
USENET started on dial up modem and as I said the first "network" connection
was through UC Berkley which had both. It took almost a decade for USENET
to transition to primarily network feeds.
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.
Pure babble.
You may have accessed it via a modem, but those of us who were on
ARPANET had direct access to it.
Yeah, after USENET had been around for years and years.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Usenet hadn't "been around
for years and years" like you claim. Where's your proof?
But then trolls will claim anything, even without proof.
