(or it must be a paying client) UsaSat/Surfbeam is a straight tcpip connection (also with static IP) and runs on VxWorks. Wildblue uses also a form of Surfbeam but with more restrictions and less options. DOCSIS is the system used by cable/dsl we use a 1536 down (80:1) and 256 up (40:1) package , with continously 5-20 computers connected (port)scan dunhill.ws and you will see that all ports are OS/2, except for the chillispot and freeradius for what we use linux (suse10.1) Next to Telnetd , FtpD and VncD we run the apache2 server of dunhill.ws, Vhosts files.dunhill.ws pay.dunhill.ws webmail.dunhill.ws mail.dunhill.ws and also http://stats.dunhill.ws that shows the mrtg screens of the SNMP results from half of our network (satellite and wifi) only http://www.dunhill.ws is placed somewhere else, just to avoid problems created by satellite outages and our daily ritual of blackouts.
