WOW ! You paid for it? No instructions. Sounds like they still haven't
got their act together. If it's not to late you might try returning it
and try Planet Connect for a feed. They have USENET and others.
Planet Connect also has a much cheaper solution - a
$450 dish and 20-40 Dollars per month. I noticed you don't see Pagesat
ads in Boardwatch magazine anymore. That's because to many Boardwatch Mag
readers had all kinds of problems -like the one you are having now.
Planet Connect guys maybe from Tennesse and talk real slow...but they are
nice and will get you going. Better than a fast talker from the west
coast who's had magazines refuse their ads. I have never seen a mag
refuse ads over the companies problems....they must have been real bad.
I have heard other horror stories about pagesat setups. careful
