The 6000 series integrated transceivers from Direc PC are self contained, and indeed perform the same TCP -> BST translation for the uplink which was formerly d
one in software under Windows. I have found this latest generation of hardware to be extremely reliable (as reliable as satellite can be - it's still subject to
sunspots & weather patterns). The 6000 transceiver patches into a broadband router just like a cable box or DSL bridge.
Alternatively, I have availability of a satellite offering from SES Americom which is also self-contained.
Pricing for either of these options is about $80 per month.
BTW, the 6000 series boxes have been available since at least early 2004...
