after our experiences with this crowd all i can say is "um.. yeah right"

as for the telecom games context, as was pointed out earlier on this list
(different thread) you cant use this because the client can only talk to
the server, no client <-> client comms are allowed and if you found a
clever way about it such as tunneling across a quake session you'd
probably find telecom would find out and cut you off (hehe, i wonder if
its possible, the overhead would be a killer tho)

the only possible solution would be a VPN product from telecom which if
they released and undercut the other players because they owned the
network would be in breach of a number of kiwi laws (cant anyone spell
monopoly ?)

all i can say is good luck to ya but dont hold your breath :) you'll
probably end up haveing to pay through the nose for it - i would suggest a
centrex solution - many ISP's should be able to provide this and it would
be cheap in comparison.
