I don`t know what the response to this will be, I need approximately 5000 UK pounds to set up such an operation (Yes, a leased line really does cost that much in the UK) and then a monthly income of around 3000 UK pounds.
I remember the load on anon.penet.fi was something like 7500 messages daily. As for connection, you will need 64kbps line or even less in case you compress the messages. The machine could be either an older Sun Sparc or a PC running free Unix (Linux/FreeBSD/...) Here in Estonia 64kbps costs between 400-600 USD per month, machine would be something like 1000-2000 USD. Still I believe someone setting up a remailer should do so for free, from their own or company resources. The best way would be every ISP to set up their own remailers and nym servers.
