It seems like it would be tricky, you need to have your incoming and
outgoing traffic follow different routes -- the satellite brings incoming
traffic only.  You need to have outgoing go through your modem.  I also
suspect proprietary protocols.

There are better satellite services around the corner.  Hang in for one
year, I think you will find it to be worth the wait.  The ones being
promised for 2001 are bidirectional, faster than 400k, and cheaper.
