My understanding is the software for DirectWay and StarBand has some code to work around response times, and some caching code to speed up browsing. The systems are useless for real 2 way work, so don't put us a web server, or ftp file to another machine. But, this extra software makes browsing tolarable. It's only written for M$ OSes, Win9x +, and I don't know if it works well with NT either. A proprer way, would have been to write the code for other OSes, but I think it was contracted out to a a windoze shop. I've read that with StarBand you could remover the ethernet->USB converter, and plug it in to a NIC. It worked, but not well. DirectWay is probably the same. Search for "StarBand" and "linux" to read more. DirectWay will have the same issues. -Thomas -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
