At quux.org[1], I[2] operate a heavily-peered Usenet[3] server. It peers with others on the Internet using conventional NNTP. Moreover, I also offer partial and full Usenet over NNCP[4] feeds. quux.org carries a full set of text newsgroups, and no binaries.

Please see the detailed documentation at the Usenet over NNCP[5] page!
Usenet[7], of course, originally ran over UUCP[8] in quite a few cases. Since NNCP[9] is quite similar to UUCP -- in fact, you can map UUCP commands to NNCP ones[10] -- it is quite possible, and not all that hard, to run Usenet over NNCP. In fact, in a number of ways, it works better than Usenet over UUCP!

Complete.Org is a personal project managed since 1994 by John Goerzen[12].

NNCP lets you securely send files, or request remote execution, between systems. It uses asynchronous communication[14], so the source and destination need never be online simultaneously. NNCP can route requests via intermediate devices -- other NNCP nodes, USB sticks, tapes, radios, phones, cloud services, whatever -- leading to a network that is highly resilient and flexible. NNCP makes it much easier to communicate with devices that lack Internet connectivity, or have poor Internet.
