Thanks again for sharing it. My exprience with Direcway has been rather lousy, though th 7000-series hardware is much easier to use than the old proxy software on the Wintendo box solution. FWIW, iDirect runs on SES Americam sat links; not sure about the others. Are you (above) referring to iDirect's thicknet or thinnet solution? I'm curious as to the performance difference, as we checked them out soem time ago, but the commitment was prohibitive for a single downlink. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
