I've worked with Helius for several years, and was surprised to find that you
are right. I haven't checked with them, but they might be willing to share
their drivers if you ask them. If you email the company, ask that your note be
forwarded to Mr. Mossbarger, the president. That way you won't get any
runaround. If you do, email me and I'll ask around. (I actually have the CD in
a town not three hours away).
Hughes has always been very negative about writing drivers for anything but
WinXX; I've never understood. Even when Motorola came out with a PCI board for
direcpc, and now a USB external "satellite modem." Duh. What would it take a
decent programmer to port the driver to Mac or Linux? Might be a good project
for one of you hackers out there...
