To each integral domain R with finite quotients we associate a purely
infinite simple C*-algebra in a very natural way. Its stabilization can be
identified with the crossed product of the algebra of continuous functions on
the "finite adele space" corresponding to R by the action of the ax+b-group
over the quotient field Q(R). We study the relationship to generalized
Bost-Connes systems and deduce for them a description as universal C*-algebras
with the help of our construction.
