Aparently, there is an experimental driver available for linux on

http://www.ihug.com.au/satnet/drivers/linux.html

which has a link to

ftp://ftp.ihug.co.nz/pub/satnet/linux

For some reason, it is not accessable from here... I suspect that this
site doesn't allow any anonymous connections from outside New Zealand.

Perhaps someone else could give it a try... anyone with an account in
NZ who has time to look it up and if it isn't too big, upload it to

ftp://ftp.ping.net.au/pub/incoming

I've also sent a privat email to Hughes requesting technical information on
this product.
