[plug] Telstra Sat

[Joel Fraser]

A mate of mine has the one way sat it is good, the speed is good for the
first month but if ya download to much the speed slows down alot, as for
the support with linux he tells me that there are none out there that he
can find and they have to run it on either Win 98 or 2k, if u r interested
i may be able to find out what type of cartd they r using.

Cheers Joel Fraser
