About ten years ago I was a member of Bishopston LETS (Local Exchange  
Trading System) - a physical system based on writing "cheques" in a  
dummy currency. They also had an Inter-LETS system to trade between  
the half-dozen groups around the Bristol area.

Bishopston LETS are still operating (just), and I could get a message  
to them if you wanted.

Also, while I had my dial-up ASCII Bulletin board running, I also  
operated LETS-Net, using fido technology  I was working on a user  
interface to record transactions "online".

FWIW, if any of this old-hat knowledge is of use then give me a shout.

Allen
