I think that using anon.penent.fi was one of my first attempts at anonymity. Then I discovered mixmaster remailers and nyms. I used Private Idaho for Windows, and then Quicksilver. Just a few years ago, I got Quicksilver running in Wine in Whonix. There were (maybe still are?) some nymservers, remailers and news servers running as Tor onions.
