RE: BT Satellite - sharing the connection

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Paul,

You'd need to check the details of any particular router.

However, I share an (ISDN) connection using a Linux firewall. The advantage= is that it was a "turnkey" download - simply install and run - n= o nasty configuration to learn... and being Linux-based, it runs on an old = P90 machine I had spare.

Hi all,

I know there's been some discussion about the BT Satellite service
recently. I'm missing my old Cable Modem connection from my old house
so much that I've decided to go for the Satellite option (my 4
channels of ISDN are costing a fortune too).

BT offer a single connection Satellite modem or 4 connection
Satellite router option. Now, I used to use a Linksys cable/DSL
router (which I still have). I believe the satellite modem offers USB
or Ethernet connection. Is there any reason why I can't use this
router (or even buy another different router) to connect to the
satellite modem and share the connection via NAT?

If so, it'd save =A3400 installation and =A350 per month!

Cheers,

Paul.
