    In a way. Gobelin was my NNTP client, and Connector was my client for multiplayer games. I did some more work back then, like writing our companies’ SMPT gateway. Ah, those were the days…

        I remember Agent and Xnews (for poor people).

        Well, both imply that you had access to an X terminal. Gobelin and Connector were written for a text-based interface. You might have seen those things with a green on green screen and a serial connection to the host machine. Although Connector also ran as an X application, thanks to some seriously smart system libraries.
