I have access to some computers that are not local, but often have idle
processors.  Additionally, on request I can get these computers dedicated to a
run.

I am running on 12 local processors.  I would be able to add 4, or maybe more,
processors to a run.  I am doing large molecules, with high complexity, so I
was assuming that the message/data passing is pretty insignificant compared to
the message passing.  For example, crystals with 3-5th row elements, such as
copper, iron, calcium, barium, etc.

However, I am unable to benchmark or even try this because it just hangs upon
execution.  And like I said previously, it works correctly, the same exact 
way,
if the computers are all in-house.

If execution over the internet becomes impractical, could you please explain
why a little more?  Is the message passing and memory allocation and all that
really such a problem?  All computers are connected to broadband internet
connectiions, 1.5M or higher.

Thanks for helping me to understand.
