Wow, you must be a rich guy!!! :-)

If I play at ICC or FISC, I pay about 2$ per hour to my local
telephone-provider. I think, one minute telepone to US would be 2$ makes
120$ an hour.
The Telephon-providers on the continent are a little bit crazy.....
Also, i think, if you sit in Cina, your problem will not be a ISP, but a working
telephon connection to him :-(((
Maybe a sattelite connection with own equipment, as CNN does?
