Steve, Since you mentioned Dallas in your question, perhaps by using the earth's magnetic field, or more directly without the fuss by using Media Fusion. -g- Subject 29139 Just kidding, although this is one of the areas they purport to be able to do, at some point (and I learned long ago to never say, even if it hurts like right now, never). I know of no other electronic means to economically and reliably convey between international regions without going deep sea or satellite, except through VHF radiotelephone and some other highly speculative meteor techniques. RadioTelephone and VHF wireless TTY are still employed by some regions due to reasons having to do with diversity, but more so where there is no other more viable form of communications due to a lack of earth stations and subsea cable landing points (and associated terrestrial routes). It's also used as a primary, but nowadays it's most often used as a backup in ship-to-shore and off-shore drilling platforms, i.e., where h-f radiotelephone backs up the more recent forms of marisat and other satellite techniques which have been employed there more recently . Could they be speaking about meteor technologies? Who knows. Regards, Frank Coluccio
