Two-Way Satellite Internet For Linux/Mac/BSD/etc.
tjw writes: "It seems that Starband has gone out of their way to make sure that their bidirectional satellite internet service was ONLY compatable with Newer MS OS's. However, if you don't mind voiding your warranty, you can strip out this "feature" and use the external modem as its engineers intended by use of a crossover cable, NIC, and DHCP client on ANY modern Operating System. You still need a USB->serial cable and a MS Operating system to install/commission the hardware though."
