I don't have any previous experience, but my thoughts are: This is exactly what Satellite TV transmission does (one way data with error correction). I believe it's possible to encapsulate data within the DVB standard, but it involves wrapping the data within MPEG frames. I would guess that the efficiencies of this are pretty bad, but it's probably possible. I have no idea how you'd go about researching this though! -- Sam _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
