[NTLUG:Discuss] Satellite Internet for Linux?

[Stan Gatchel]

I am looking for a rural high speed connection that will work with 
Linux. Looked at T-Mobile but they don't support Linux (so I was told). 
Two way satellites may be the answer. The offerings are Wild Blue, 
StarBand, Tachyon:

http://www.starband.com
http://www.wildblue.com

It seems DirectWay shifted to HD?

StarBand seems to support Linux (sort of):

"The StarBand® 481 and the StarBand® 484 satellite modem is compatible 
with operating systems supporting TCP/IP protocol such as Windows®, 
Macintosh®, Unix® and Linux® (Call Center support limited to Windows 98, 
98 SE, Me, 2000 Professional, XP and Macintosh OS 9, OS X)."

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Stan

P.S. I have tried to get wireless, but just out of range.
