Hi, I might consider purchasing a dvb card and connect it to my dish for retrieving internet data via the sattellite. All uploads will continue to go via my 56K modem. There is an interesting HOWTO that explains how to configure this stuff under Linux. http://www.infodrom.org/Linux/HOWTO/Sat/Sat-HOWTO.html This stuff seems to be quite well supported. Debian's apt-cache search dvb brings up quite some things related to this. I thought I would give it a try since the ISP (Opensky) is giving free access as they are under a sort of testing period. That remains for me to install some additional device on the dish, the cable from the dish to my computer, and a dvb card totalling to approx 150EUR.
Has anyone every tried this? Any comments in relation to bandwidth, configuration problems, and anything else are welcome. David.
