  Freenet
       
          Community-based bulletin board system with e-mail, information
          services, interactive communications, and conferencing.
          Freenets are funded and operated by individuals and volunteers
          - in one sense, like public television.  They are part of the


          National Public Telecomputing Network (NPTN), an organisation
          based in Cleveland, Ohio, devoted to making computer
          telecommunication and networking services as freely available
          as public libraries.
