"We aim at the Stars" 992 San Antonio Road Palo Alto, Ca. 94303 415-424-0380 The system consists of a 45 cm dish,small receiver, and modem. We are transmitting 24 hours/7 days at 9600 bps.. We have developed a portable interface into existing B/C usenet software,that reads batches into a serial port on your computer and pipes them directly into rnews. We simply deliver 40 plus megabytes daily to your host system,minus the phone lines,connect charges, and those "uneven bursts of news", that mark a uucp based newsfeed. Currently, we support Unix systems, but are working on providing support for MS Windows,and Macintosh. All software is public domain, and source code is provided with each system we sell. The Usenet satellite uplink service has been reliably delivering a full newsfeed for three months. PageSat is dedicating a large Sun server,a T1 Internet link for incoming news, combined with multiple nntp newsfeeds to ensure that you get news on a smooth,steady,reliable basis each and every day. The satellite is GE's K2, and covers all of the continental US,southern Canada, and northern Mexico. We currently have sites in New York,New Jersey, Ohio , and California reliably receiving news each and every day. Technology: ----------- The system is based on tried and true hardware our company has been using for years to uplink data for commercial customers. The software is completely public domain, and may be modified as your needs dictate. Pricing: -------- We originally sold this system for $1800 as an incentive , but we will be increasing the price to 2100.00 within 30 days. So, if you want to save money , order now. There will be no other charges for at least 1 year.. At that time, we will assess the need for monthly charges if any, and will instead attempt to rely on value added services for any additional revenues if needed. Lead times are at least 5 weeks. Visa, and personal checks accepted.
