Does anyone know about the Telstra Sat Internet system and how to use it
under Linux?

I believe there are two systems - a one-way and a two-way.  I know someone
who's getting the one-way and wants a Linux box to handle the connection
istead of shelling out for MS platforms that are all that's supported.
Telstra support are hopless as they can't even give me a model of the PCI
card used.

Thee's three issues that I can see:
How does the routing work?
Is the PCI card supported (FCCID:??)?
How does a firewall work?

The answer to the last question is "It doesn't." - which is a real worry,
but can anyone help with the other two?

Any pointers appreciated.

- Brian.
