Hey Abe,
You may want to reply to this off-list, but I'm asking
publicly in case others are interested.  What's your
plan for that high-speed satellite internet access? 
What are the hardware requirements, costs, etc?  I
guess I didn't know that kind of thing was practical
yet.  I'd had ugly pictures of having to get a
Certificate of Occupation in order to get a phone
connection in order to get a lousy slow dial-up.... 
I'd love to hear any alternatives you know about -- on
the list if others are interested, personally if
they're not.  Thanks,
adam
