Sure. I've used Starband for 2 (or is it 3?) years
now. You have to have a Windows box attached to the satellite modem, but I
have the 2nd NIC attached to a hub. Other PCs in the house are attached to
that hub, including Fedora and Debian boxes. Nothing special required once
the Windows gateway box is going. I use WinProxy for a firewall in the
WinPC, and it does the DHCP. The Starband upload stinks at about 90K, but
the downside is fine - anything from 300-2500 kbps. StarBand also
prohibits running servers, and I think they even block common server ports,
apparently not trusting us. - John
