Just wondering if anyone has tryed using Tel$tra's 2 way satellite with SME, here in Australia? I am running a SME 5.5 with Update 2 server and dial-up net access is just too slow. Only problem is that we are out of range of everyones cable/ADSL area so satellite is our only hope as IDSN is far too expensive. I'm looking at getting 2 way satellite from Tel$ra but do not want to lose the SME box that currently acts as our email server/firewall and gateway!! I dont know what type of satellite receiver card Tel$tra use either, but could probably find out after waiting on hold for several hours, if that would help any.....?
Thanks In Advance!

But is you e-smith server your external mail server as well? If so how did you get it to connect to your secondary mail server through the windoh's box?
Thanks

Several weeks ago, I researched 2way satelite access for a remote location. Dishnetwork referred me to another vendor that installs commercial systems in the Southwestern USA. I called this company and a sales rep said they where waiting for a new piece of hardware. This new hardware uses ethernet and is compatible with linux. I threw out all the info I had since we are using dial up until cable access is available. If I had the info I would give it to you. Call Dishnetwork and ask for the commerical sales company.
Good Luck,
