In case anyone is interested, I wrote a Starband Satellite Ethernet review,
and a Howto document, for anyone considering Starband and Linux.

I'd be interested in your feedback, I'm planning on submitting the howto to
linuxdoc.

The short version is:  If you have DSL or Cable modem service available,
stay away from the Satellite.  If not, it may be a viable option.  Latency
sucks.

Please excuse the fact that the above links are hosted on Win2k.  I'm using
it for some research right now.  They'll be on 'nix before long!

Thankx,
