To begin with, here is my situation. I live about a 150 miles north of San Francisco, and about six miles away from the small town of Willits. The telephone lines out here are notoriously poor, and, even on a good day, my best connect speed is 26400, and even then, my error rate is so high that my net download speed averages about 10 minutes per megabyte. DSL and wireless have recently become available in Willits, but out here, they are not available at any price. There is a DirecWay dealer in town, but he tells me that I must connect through a Windows box, which I would rather not do. I am aware of the 4020 interface, which doesn't care what OS I am using, but DirecWay does not support it, and net2dish, which does support it, not only wants about twice the DirecWay price per month, but also restricts me to a satellite which is low enough in the sky to be a bit of a problem for my location. If you could tell me what you had to do to use DirecWay, I would appreciate it. -- Chuck -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
