DirecPC (Hughes) now has a business grade service called DirecWay. Haven't tried it. One would expect it would be better than the ones intended for residential only. It claims to go to 1.5M down like Tachyon.I use Direcway presently as my primary link. I refer to it as, "Dialup Plus!" As a previous poster noted, ssh sessions are painful. I now resort to typing e-mails out in a local text editor and cutting and pasting them into my ssh window.
i regularly work across satelite links, and haven't found it intolerable. if your expectations are that of terrestrial based networks, then, yeah, it is gonna seem slow. i tend to think "geez, this actually works!", and thus my expectations are based on actual function, not throughput. mind you, my first internet connections were 9600bps, and 2400bps over x.25, so, maybe my tolerance level is a bit higher. 8^) -- [ Jim Mercer jim () reptiles org +1 416 410-5633 ] [ I want to live forever, or die trying. ]
