As the title of this e-mail suggests, the search for broadband continues. After a brief dabble in wireless with a local ISP, which unfortunately came to nothing, I'm now investigating one-way satellite broadband. I've found a supplier called netsystems ( www.netsystem.com ) who use Astra for the downlink aspect of the connection. I can make a slight modification to my Sky dish (i.e. add a dual LNB) and pick up the signal. However, I need to invest in what Net Systems call a 'Sat Modem'. They ship a free Windows 'Sat Modem' when you sign up, but I'm interested to know whether anyone has ever come across a Linux compatible 'sat modem'? I may be forced to move my Gentoo based router to a Win2k install to benefit from the faster connection offered by the satellite (Help!!!!) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
