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

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
