I hadn't been reading this thread til now.  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?
   

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.

Julian, we started a discussion some time ago about broadband options
up there. I don't recall where we left off, but I would recommend
looking into a good commercial-grade satellite service, such as
http://www.skycasters.com.          

Look than also at UnaSat, better priced, and great quality
We use this to feed our hotspot system in the Dominican Republic (26
spots in the south)
and is much cheaper than iDirect, while the quality is not noticeable
less.
Surfbeam modems with DOCSIS 1.01

main supplier for the USA is www.motosat.com , for information you can
look at our website as well
