Why not just join one of the numerous online chess sites?
I've looked at several, and joined one, but they all seem to stress the very fast play, 15 or 20 minutes and that doesn't suit me at all.

I have played a few games of correspondence chess where there was no time limit on the return move, I usually get 1 or 2 moves a day.
