There was an article in El Pais' (Uruguay) Sunday paper two weeks ago about internet access in Cuba. Tourists can buy cards (priced in US dollars) that allow dialup access. According to the article, the call to the dialup number can only be placed from phone accounts that are billed and paid in US dollars. If your phone is billed and paid in Cuban pesos - you can't even complete the call to the modem bank. The article said that internet access is very sought after but hard to come by.
The article said that computers, fax machines and photocopiers are not legal to buy or sell without a government license. I googled ETECSA (the name of the phone company in Cuba) and came up with this link to their rate sheet: http://www.infocom.etecsa.cu/nuevas_tarifas_u.htm Given that from the rate sheet I can see that the COUNTRY has embraced the concept of having an intranet, I think you're going to be hard-pressed to get what you're looking for. (Interestingly, while visiting Cuba three years ago I needed to call the USA - I went to the local ETECSA office and paid dollars in advance for the number of minutes I wanted to talk - and nearly fell over when they handed me a 3watt Motorola bag phone [AMPS cellular] across the counter to use to place the call.) Good luck in your search!
