    Hi All,

    I am operating a community wireless network in Ireland, I have two
    internet connections one is a two way sat link (Capped) the other is a microwave link (uncapped) at 1mb. I was getting a news feed for network
    from Planet Connect as bag files and sending post via my 2 way sat link.
    But they no longer serve Europe so am looking for alternate, any idea's
    ? Do not wish to use uncapped microwave link as it will use up bandwidth
    that client nodes need and cannot use 2 way sat link due to cost per meg
    but can set up a one way sat link to download bag files over night and
    route all posts out through either link. Any ideas where I can automate
    ftp downloads of news bag files from ?

    Hey now there is a name from the past. I used to see Boyd's name pop up the odd time in a newsgroup devoted to wireless interent stuff. I looked at the Planet Connect site some time ago and I see that they are a normal ISP with some different lines as well.....

    Guess there is not much demand for their services any more in that
    way.....but boy do I miss their feed......still have the reciever I used sitting right beside my buggy whip.....times are changing.
