YES. Around November the 20th we at IBE.NET can put up not one
but two servers running FreeBSD for this purpose.
We can put one in Europe and one in the USA, both connected by a T1.

PS. Rod Grimes: I publicly *swear* I'm doing my best to sort out
the mess which happened with your order. Most likely, the two
machines will come from you :)

Bye,
