Yo; I've got Starband's basic satellite internet package/modem/dish/whatever. The don't officially support Linux with this hardware and have taken great pains to create their own protocal to make sure that you have to have a Windows boxconnected to their modem. Neway, anybody know of an open-source hack that'll let me use this modem from Linux and trash my old Windows router? Thanx, ES -- Registered Linux user #366862
Not that you care, but this message was sent from a 750MHz Athlon system running SuSE Linux 9.1 (Kernal 2.6.5) and KMail 1.62. I aslo run Red Hat Linux 8.0 (Kernal 2.4.18), Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Kernal 2.2.20), Mandrake Linux 9.2 (Kernal 2.4.22), and YellowDog Linux 3.0 (Kernal 2.4.20) on various systems and architectures for various reasons. Yeah, and there's a old Mac OS in there somewhere that I use as a bootloader for Linux, and a Windows XP box used as a router for my Linux-based network, but they don't count, 'cuz they aren't "real" OS's. Who me? Biased? Nah! "Failure is not an option with Microsoft; it's bundled with the software!" Not only am I a Linux freak, Mac-lover, and Microsoft-hater, but I'm a Christian as well. To risk using an un-meaningful cliche: Jesus has changed my life for the better! He's my best friend and talking to Him and knowing that He's helping me is what lets me deal with stress with ease. I'm not happy-go lucky, I just know that with God's help I can handle it. My faith is based on facts too. Don't believe me? Go to www.messengersofchrist.cjb.net to find out more (If it's ever up).
