Hum, yes the link is ftp://ftp.ihug.co.nz/pub/satnet/linux but in fact
that should be ftp://ftp.ihug.com.au/pub/satnet/linux. Try it out.

Aparently, there is an experimental driver available for linux on
http://www.ihug.com.au/satnet/drivers/linux.html
which has a link to
ftp://ftp.ihug.co.nz/pub/satnet/linux
For some reason, it is not accessable from here... I suspect that this
site doesn't allow any anonymous connections from outside New Zealand.
Perhaps someone else could give it a try... anyone with an account in
NZ who has time to look it up and if it isn't too big, upload it to
ftp://ftp.ping.net.au/pub/incoming
I've also sent a privat email to Hughes requesting technical
information on
this product.
