Move your domain to any OpenSRS based registrar. This has 
two benefits:
- web-based updates to your domain registrations
- punish NSI for ripping you off

and one drawback:
- you need to purchase an additional one year of 
  registration (~$12.50)

Moving usually only takes a couple of days. 

I usually pay in e-gold and use http://domains.jhcloos.net/ . 
Highly recommended.

Cheers,
Jeroen

PS. I'm somewhat related to both e-gold and Mr. Cloos.
