Lisa... no crashing the party at my place.... just a nice steady rock tempo is all I can hear... no freaking techno beat if you get my drift...

That is so unfair! It took me months to get it installed and then at least another month to find the right tech at the ISP that knew what he was doing to flip the switch at his end.
You're missing out on so much.

HAH! And I say again -- HAH!
You think that's bad? I had a cable modem for 6 years, then we moved into the RV. Now the very best I can get is 24000bps on my dialup (did hit 26400bps once). At least you can get DSL.
At least at my mom's place, I can connect the brand new lightning fast computer at 53333bps every time. That seems to fly compared to this thing!

Just don't use any toasters or blenders while you are downloading stuff. DSL just loves noise on the line......

At every level, you must pay your dues.
I began paying mine back when a 300 baud modem was the screamin' fastest thing on the block and you had to build the computer to go with it!
So, yeah, I definately understand about a thing called s-l-o-w.
Have you thought about a satellite data service? Your upstream would still suck, but your downstream would be at least as good as DSL.

I have looked into it -- no one wants to install one on an RV because the aiming is so critical. Of course, they have trouble understanding that I know more about their services than they (the shlubs in customer service) do.
I have been informed that there are some services coming down the pike in the near future that will change this picture, so will just have to bide my time.
BTS, my first 'puter was a Heath H8 which I had to build (and I mean build, none of this selecting components and plugging them in). But mine was the neatest 'puter in the club in Vegas -- it had 16k of main memory! Only modems available were 300baud w/acoustic coupler.
Dues? Hell yes, I've paid my dues!

Y'all GOT to be kidding me. The beamwidth is HUGE! I've installed 'em just by guessing! Ok, I did go back and tweek 'em better, but for a first point if you can't do it with just your eyeballs ya ain't even trying!
Stuff like DISH and DirecTV were MADE for sloppy installs.
Oh, AIM-65 . . . 6502 chip w/ a whoppin' 4k memory and led readout -- thermopaper printout for hard copys. Came as a kit from Rockwell -- NASA surplus. Whaawhooo, I'm computin'!

Apples and oranges. Have DISH in the RV. DirectPC is quite a different monster all together.
Just for info, I am NOT talking about the type you mentioned, where you need a phone line for uplink -- the type I want is bidirectional satellite. It really kicks ass. I just have to be a bit patient for a couple more months.
