to make sure that their bidirectional satellite internet service was
ONLY compatable with Newer MS OS's. However, if you don't mind voiding
your warranty, you can strip out this "feature" and use the external
modem as its engineers intended by use of a crossover cable, NIC, and
DHCP client on ANY modern Operating System. You still need a
USB->serial cable and a MS Operating system to install/commission the
hardware though."
