I just opened my new Pagesat dish (63cm model).   Unfortunately, it
came with no assembly instructions and it's Friday night, so they're
closed.  Does anybody have one of these and, if so, could you please
send me some assembly guidelines?  If you have a copy of the actual
assembly intsructions, if you can fax them 510-530-0451, that would
be really great. I was hoping to set it up this weekend.

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
