@vwestlife #Funfact: In #Europe, #Cband dishes weren't common so #SatelliteInternet used simiar #Tuner cards with #VSAT terminals, usually accepting downlinks from regular commercial #TV #satellites that were just data channels on #ASTRA and/or #Eutelsat #HotBird in the #KuBand...
- Later they got some fancy "SAT-Routers" that combines a #DVB-S downlink and an #analog #56k / #ISDN modem for uplink if not offered to use #2G #mobile networks as well...
I've got one of those:
Basically a #Router with some #Linux on Ethernet, Power & F-Screw-Connector on the rear, #56k& #ISDN #Modem|s and USB up-front.
- And yes, I used that to share a #dialup connection with multiple devices, because they can do that!
