I am going to add a disclaimer to this column. I am *not*
responsible for anyone using this information and neglecting their
families. This information about freenets is not to be used
lightly; it has become apparent that people using the information
listed below have a tendency to become fascinated and are lost to
their families and friends for hours at a time. I refuse to let
anyone blame me.
This fascinating list I have sent is a list of Freenets. A
freenet is a informaiton system for which all equipment, time,
effort and expertise is donated. No charge is made to the
individual signing on the system but each system has it's own list
of rules and regulations. In most cases you must "sign an
agreement" to abide by their rules. The main rule in almost all
freenets is that their system cannot be used for any commercial
venture.
One of the great advantages of the freenets over most closed
systems is the availability of Usenet groups. A Usenet group is a
nation wide discussion list of any topic you can imagin.
Listed below are the names, addresses and logons for you to
sample many of the current freenets. Sooooo, find your telnet
prompt and have some fun.
