9grid.de is a German system. I'm not sure why it isn't loading for
you, but you can get an account there just for asking. My system is in
the U.S., and I could give you an account there, from which you could
send email but not receive it. I would suggest 9grid.de over my
system, however. At 131.112.14.44 you can find the tip9ug servers,
which also have free accounts, but be warned that the domain registry
(tip9ug.jp) has expired, so you'll have to do all connections by IP.
