Had a friend look at it. Coupla ick things about it :
1) You need a 10 degree veiw of the horizon. In most cases up here,
spec in the boonies, trees get in the way of having it at such a low
angle./.
2) *WIN32* only. There are two ways of connecting. One is to use a USB
based 'Satallite' modem. Another is to have a Satallite interface card. To
my knowledge, there are no drivers for these that will run correctly under
Linux. I could be incorrect, but when I searched, I came up empty.
3) Decent bandwidth, but from looking at a live system in Mass working,
it has crap latency.
