Perhaps you should send the gateway admin a reasonable donation for  
dealing with the hassles of maintaining it and extra bandwidth costs  
they incur (and hassles of being berated by users of a *FREE* service  
when it isn't working).

I bet they'd appreciate a sum of say $50 and might even jump right on  
it for you if you sent $150.

If you truly depend on something it is worth paying for.
