Mid 90s, summer break. I had dialup to a BBS/ISP hybrid from which I could telnet to my university account. I randomly found the source code for uqwk on the server. It compiled. It worked. uqwk built a file of new mail and usenet posts. Then I zmodemed them back to my computer where I wrote some software to split them up and read them at my leisure. Not sure if I ever get posting working or not.
