DWay would have been better off making it talk ethernet so you can just
plug in a hunk of cat5 and away you go. This USB nonsense is starting to
get on my nerves. It seems like everything is migrating to it and it's
almost more trouble than it's worth. But that's just me and my two
copper pennies.
FWIW I have been told that inside the Directway box is an ethernet to USB
converter. I have no first hand knowledge of this but the information
came to me from someone who I trust.
I've seen that mentioned before. Same for StarBand boxes.
