Free NTFS mounter?

Can anyone recommend some free NTFS mounting software?

Ntfs-3G and Macfuse. Don't think it works with Lion, though.

I gave up and converted my bootcamp install into a native Parallels VM, ratherthan pay for something.

I find Paragon's implementation to be LEAGUES faster than Macfuse/NTFS-3G. External drives were barely usable until I switched.
Your mileage may vary and it aint free:

Agree with paragon. I managed to get a free copy from giveawayoftheday a couple of weeks ago.

Aye this stopped working with Lion and Tuxera are now charging for it.
