toasternet

    1. A low cost, low tech, publicly accessible
   local community network.  This is probably an extension of
   the term "toaster" used to mean a small, cheap, slow
   computer.

   <community networks>.

   2. The title of some informal notes on IP addressing,
   ("Toasternet Part I and II"), circulated on the IETF
   mailing list during November 1991 and March 1992.

   Subsequent work was published in June 1993 in RFC 1475 and
   RFC 1476 and the "CATNIP" Internet-Draft by Robert
   L. Ullmann
