Nori,
where is your friend?  In Tokyo?   If he is outside of Tokyo or
Yokohama, I may be able to help him quite a bit.  Can you
send more information?  I have a bit of information
on becoming an Internet provider.

As far as your four PCs, connect them with ethernet and a small
hub.  Have one PC connect to a provider with a dialup serial
or ISDN connection.  This should be about 2,000-5,000 yen
per month.  What you do beyond that with IP masquerading 
would depend on your expertise.


Regards,
Craig
