DirectWay/Linux?

[Brett I. Holcomb]

I was told by the owner of a company that installs satellite systems that 
there is about a 750 ms lag in communications.  He was installing an dish I 
used for Educational channels for me and while talking to him I found out 
his company also did satellites and he had the satellite Internet from the 
company he repped.  Makes it kind of bad for online gamers <G>.
