America, France, China and Bangkok. The SKYSURFER comes in two modes 1.
with rmote card and with skysurfer VSAT. Pl. visit www.gilat.com for

The National Informatics Center of Govt. of India has a SKY Surfer VSAT
installed at its HQ and has given some cards for testing the remoe FTDMA
vsat user ( we are one of them) by installing SKSurfer and routing throug
their VSAT. The card as indicated earlier comes with Win 95/NT driver but
not with any document.
The CARD as I have been told works fine with 3Com 509/905 ethernet cards
in NT and also with Intel Etherexpress in win 95. It connectes through BNC
post to EDU of VSAT.
I want to install it in my Linux server but cant do it without driver.
