Either way you failed to answer the ops question. Which was "Can he use a
broadband modem with a satellite connection?" The answer is no. As all the
equipment is dependant on a satelite that can transmit the data, so to
answer that question, yes a special satellite is required.
And to derek / nul. ISDN SUCKS!!!!! You are paying too much money for a
service that is only marginally faster than dial-up, and still ties-up a
phone line.
