John,

Read the comp.sys.ibm.pc and comp.sys.ibm.pc.digest newsgroups.  An
article describing USEnet PC Access is posted or requested every few
weeks.  I seem to recall articles that said public domain USEnet PC
software is available from SIMTEL.  Please ask on that newsgroup about
access to SIMTEL.  I've not personally retrieved software from the
SIMTEL archives, and so am not the best person to go to for advice on
it.

If you find cheap, but not public domain, uucp software I'd be
interested in the source.  My employer has a policy, to prevent
viruses, of no use of public domain software on company PC's.
