And the servers could really be set up anonymously.  Pay cash to an ISP 
for a SLIP or PPP account, get a phone line under a ficticious name, set 
up a PO box for the (few) bills, find somewhere to set up the machine, 
and away you go...

"Past the wounds of childhood, past the fallen dreams and the broken families,
through the hurt and the loss and the agony only the night ever hears, is a
waiting soul.  Patient, permanent, abundant, it opens its infinite heart and
asks only one thing of you ... 'Remember who it is you really are.'"
