OK, but that requires more than just the iCalendar data format. You need 
a transport protocol, like CalDAV[1]. Did these providers specify, and 
do you have a compatible client?

I haven't been keeping up with the calendaring world, but I wouldn't be 
surprised if Mozilla's calendaring products supported CalDAV now. I just 
don't know how likely you are to find a provider that does as well. 

You can always manually pass iCal files back and forth (FTP), but it 
sounds like you want something a tad more integrated than that.
