Another satellite vendor is Starband. Starband is 2-way. A friend of mine in Holland, Ma loves it. He can't get a local dialup, no cable, no DSL. Satellite is affected by the weather. My friend PAMs his antenna in the winter. Marc Evans also has Starband. Marc initially used it with either Linux or BSD, but he mentioned lately that some of there more recent patches are Windows. I know several people who have DirecPC and regret it.
