I've got a project on my plate that will involve taking two
Inmarsat M4 satellite telephones, MUX-ing them together, and using the
resulting 128KBps connection as a gateway for four laptop computers.
(It's a literacy program and the idea is to have a portable 128K
connection for four laptops which can be taken anywhere in our community.)
Money isn't an issue as Verizon has graciously supported the idea.
The problem seems to be how to interface the M4 units with a
gateway server (either through PCMCIA or 9-pin serial port) and then pipe
this combined connection into a hub so the other laptops can play.
My vendor is all hot to get me going with a WIN98-based machine
which will combine the two 64K signals into one, but when it comes to
piping this into an Ethernet connection he backs right off.
Has ANYONE heard of such a project using Linux?
Or even something remotely related?
MANY thanks in advance to anyone who can offer some leads...
