I don't have the link handy but they have many disgruntled customers and they have been sued by their customers. Here's a link you might check if you already haven't done so... www2.techstocks.com

Brian, Hughes is a LOT more than Direct PC. I don't really follow everything they do. They ARE a good engineering firm, however. I think DirecPC will continue to grow (slowly), but only in rural America (where cable is not available). Recent changes in the DirecPC SunSurfer rates (6 AM - 6 PM) help. The MoonSurfer (6 PM - 6 AM) rates were 1/4 the day rates. You still need an ISP and need to buy the hardware. I think you will find the bill is more than $30/mo. In any case, I don't think the profit from DirecPC will ever be enough to materially move Hughes. o~~~ O
