I'll have a look at it and see what we'll find out. Can't be that much traffic. If that's not
an option, i will gladly sponsor some bandwidth, and we can hook numbers a fwdnet number
in there, that gives people at least some local phone numbers to get in.

It would just require, that i set the box up first. The box i've got the spare bandwidth on is
hosted in the US, 100 mbit uplink, 8+ gbit backbone to the site. That should be plenty.
