Mobile Satelite Uplink

LinMagAu talks about Onno Benschop’s mobile satelite internet rig.

Of course nothing is simple. The salespeople were convinced that I couldn’t line up the dish - it took me about an hour to figure out and now roughly takes about ten minutes each time I set up. They told me that the wireless gear wouldn’t talk to the modem, they told me that my Debian workstation wouldn’t be supported, they told me that the BOC wouldn’t talk to me, they told me that I needed training, they told me that it wasn’t done and it wouldn’t work, they told me that I’d void my warranty, they told me so many stories…

Sounds like a real hassle to assemble, but the bandwidth is good! Its pretty amazing what we can do with technology these days.
