It is doubtful if you can do this on a free webhost. Most forum software would require PHP/MySQL. Some hosts may provide PHP but probably not MySQL. There are versions of forum software that runs on Perl/CGI and flat files but it's performance is pretty bad. So that's the bad news. The good news is that you can get a host that supports these for a small fee of $5-10/month.

PHPBB is a good product and it is free but it is not a webhost, which was the original question.

You can get remote forum hosting from sites such as cgispy.com (I think that's the link)

i used to use a text based forum on tripod. it didn't require a mysql or any other database... i'll look around for it.
edit: something like this might work http://www.scriptarchive.com/wwwboard.html
