The on-board switching, has the possiblity of cutting that latency, possibly in half.
Also, a lot of you are saying "no thanks". But do realize, that this is only the next best thing to dialup--which is still a lot of folks' only other alternative. -- DW6000, DirecWay Small Business, Galaxy 16 99W, trans 1210, 3PC network, WinXP/2000/98, LinkSys WRT54GS.

Google is your friend.. "satellite internet" - and then also look at »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly ... check it out.
void of all that.. see the other two replies above mine as well. |
