*Getting OT*
Just checked Direct PC for 200 hours a month is only $130. Not that bad really.

Per your earlier reply on DirectPC:

"I've been told that the long round trip through the satellite doesn't make for good data."

Is this in reference to using the local ISP to transmit commands from your PC?

"A nonstop all day connection over satellite would be very expensive too."

You also noted that 200 hours costs $130 per month. Log-on at market open and log-off at market close and you will use less than the 200 hours allocated each month. Would this scenario give you the "nonstop all day connection", or are you referring to something else?

Thanks for your reply and help.
