Bilbo, usenet most often refers to the old usenet news groups. The best place to search them is: www.dejanews.com This site now is hosted by Google, so that should make searching easy. If you use Outlook (Express) or Netscape it's the newsgroups you see under "news". But since news servers typically only store a few weeks worth of postings, you have to use one of the archives. Edit: just type in "Kent Calhoun" and you'll get lots of hits. Also try "5VBTP"
