Huh? It's even easier than PBEM. We won't charge you, either.

A-ha! Thank you for that "we won't charge you" line, Justin, because I think I finally understand now why people would not want to play networked games and prefer PBEM. I guess I'm as used to Internet flat rates as you are, but I think those people are paying for their Internet connectivity per minute and think that they have to stay connected while they are preparing their turns for the game. That's NOT the case.
You can disconnect directly after your game client downloaded the latest turn from the game server, which happens automatically, prepare the turn offline like you would do it for a local or PBEM game, and then connect again to let your game client automatically upload it to the server. This is even the recommended way of playing turns.
