Pity it's only a one way system it would do wonders for my gaming pings.

Has anyone else had any dealings with such a system in linux the system
uses a
internal Pci card with a 60cm dish linked to the eultesat birds.

Oh prices 200 equipment 100 install £14 pm for 128Kbps allways on and
speeds upto 8000kbps 2p per 10meg.
Still need modem/phone/isp.

Prices seem to be pretty reasonable.
Who is it with?

You'd need to know the maker/model of the pci card to find linux drivers etc

BTW, sattalite links wouldn't be much good for games - pings would be huge. 
there tends to be a large (1 second ish) lag.
