Usenet does not *require* NNTP. If a usenet server is on the internet,
then NNTP is the most common protocol used when servers talk to each
other, but not all usenet servers are on the internet.

The OP isn't beholden to the web to access usenet so much as he is
beholden to a *chair* and a table or desk. It's almost impossible to
type when both you and the computer are resting on the floor.
