Are these satellite services, your talking about, commercial or residential? I am currently using Starband and have been fairly happy with them but they require the modem to be connected to a Windoze box so I need to have a standalone Win2K box, Windoze Firewall and antivirus and so on and so forth. I would like to go back to my OS/2 Server and Injoy firewall. Any suggestions?
