This is incorrect. NNTP is Network News Transfer Protocol, is not an
API, and isn't technically needed to use usenet. Before NNTP, UUCP
shuffled articles along. Two systems peered via UUCP over a serial/modem
link can pass along articles. A PC user can dial-in to such a system and
pull articles for reading in off-line mode. This was important in the
time of expensive connections that ran up phone bills and tied up phone
lines.
