			I've heard of this satellite net access thing that's supposed to be
2-way on the Kim Komando show called starband. It's from dish network, and
they include the dish, antenna, modem, and the software used.
Unfortunately, it hooks to the usb port, the modem. Another option is to
get the package from radio shack that has a tranceiver card instead of the
usb modem, with msn service, but you have to buy the PC. Which would be
usable in linux? They don't seem to offer a modem connecting to an ethernet
card to my knowledge.
