For me no *doze in my network ! (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.
