High-speed satellite?

[Randy Rathbun]

Well, MS/RS have some partnership thing going. They announced it with lots
of fanfare around the first part of this year. I laughed hard at all the
marketing that went into it when it was really no different than what they
had been doing when I worked there looong ago during college - essentially
selling MS software. Big deal, huh? 

Anyway, I am willing to bet this is gonna be a winsat card that is in
there. Much like winmodems and winprinters and the soon to be windsl modem
- though they promise a Linux driver. 

If it does work, however, it could be the answer to no net access at the
meetings...
