I'm supposed to have the Directway sat system installed today. This system is USB only and the present software only runs under Windows. The Apple OSX version is supposed to be released shortly. Has anyone installed this system under linux using wine or some other technique?
What modems do you have? (The external boxes that sit between your satellite and computer) I went through setting up a satellite system this summer. The site that it was installed at has a Linux server with various machines hanging off it as clients running WinXP or Linux. There were absolutely no Linux drivers for the USB modems. I did find one company that has developed a router/firewall for the system - oddly enough it's a Linux system internally. Problem is the price was VERY high. The end solution was to drop in a stripped down Windows machien to act as the gateway so to speak. It only had enough installed to activate the USB modems and provide networking services to the main server. It was the only solution we could come up with at the time. C.
