Yes, I agree. One of the major features of the system was the ability to create business letters, with company logo/letterhead, on a Facit color printer, placed in the mail stream the next day. We developed a package for the US Postal Service that would have cost around $5,000 per post office so they could insert letters into the mail stream throughout the USPS system. When I demonstrated the installation for the local post office, we even printed the PostNet barcode together with the address on the envelope. The postmaster was horror struck. "You can't print that on an envelope. Only the Postal Service can do that." They turned it down. Oh, how different the Postal Service might be today if they were enthusiastic about digital stuff back in 1984.

Those were the good old days. Back in 1984, I developed an e-mail system that ran on a Tandem Non-Stop computer. It had 100 800 rotary lines for dial-in access. Our sales person called from NJ one day asking if I could accommodate X.25 networking. "Of, course..." This was the first major networking protocol I had ever dealt with. I couldn't believe it. We installed the software and the hardware interface, and bingo! Magic, I was connected to their internal network with roughly 500 employees able to connect simultaneously. Yes, we've come a long way since then, but still...!

I've noticed recently that the Microsoft update servers are way overloaded. Was doing a Win7 update via the network here; 35 MB was predicted to take 35 minutes. While it was downloading, I fired up a 40 MB FTP download on another machine on the same network from our server; 2 minutes. SO: it's not always HughesNet.

How, then, pray tell, did the installer get a ping of 60 to 70 (unless he was pinging something on your local network)?

First of all, stop for a moment and think about "ping." HughesNet operates from a satellite that is in geostationary orbit; that's at a distance of 22,236 miles above the equator. The best "ping" time you can expect thanks to Dr Einstein and the laws of physics hovers around a little over 500ms. Secondly, what Internet service was your installers "mobile unit" using. It certainly wasn't HughesNet, so comparisons are unfair. Do you have "ground based" Internet providers in your area? Like those who use cable to your house? If so, you should never have chosen a satellite-based provider.

GabeU: That's what I meant about my timing. No, not a single penny invested. None of us thought the place would ever amount to much. But, when you throw enough money at something! Pawnee County: I was Frankly Curt out of Newport, RI, node 6 in RIME. At the time, I was doing research into reusable code for large defense projects and was introduced to ARPANET and its e-mail network. None of us ever used the phone, e-mail being so much less intrusive. I still, 30 years later, can't tolerate the phone's ringing, demanding priority. And, yes, command line worked first time, every time!

AOL has a tattoo on my brain. In the mid 80s, I was a BBS heavy. One day at the office, a colleague hollered at me "Some guy named Steve Case from Quantum Computers wants to talk with you. Turns out a bunch of us BBS folk were being solicited to do testing of a new service called PC-Link. Was fun for a while, but there were severe ethical differences between the gang in charge and a couple of us who wanted to sell testing utilities to the beta team. I left, bloodied. That was the precursor of AOL. My timing has never been that good <g>.

If so, you probably received an e-mail when signing up about our relaxed download period. My wife came running into the office wondering what the honk had happened. "HughesNet is finally telling people about the first 20 days. Finally!" I had literally hollered out loud "Whoa!"

Not just fired, but blacklisted. The public is entirely too susceptible to this unknown. Most installers fall into the superb category (like my son), but bad eggs should have a "stay away" identity somewhere.

I have used The Bat! e-mail client for a little over 18 years. I switched to it because it was able to launch a process based on specific e-mail content which a customer needed. I have never looked back. https://www.ritlabs.com/en/

I haven't had the time to check this out completely, but will over the weekend. I have a feeling it may be my goofy desktop. I'll let you know by Tuesday what the story is. Thanks for getting back to me. Have a reflective weekend, be safe, and eat more than you should!

Ditto to both the above, plus: Be careful on the roads. It's not you but other crazy, nonthinking drivers who will make your weekend have an outcome other than what you would wildly dream. Be safe.

Oh, yes, and you get nickle and dimed to death if you have no frills service. Pay for each local call. Pay per minute for distance calls. Pay for directory service. I agree, $80 is very steep.

Twenty years ago, when we first moved in here, we paid roughly $26/month for a residence wire line, no extras. My last bill in January was for $55, no extras. Same service. We have no cell service. HN Voice is very reliable, works during power outages because of our generator. Wire line service was with Verizon. Need I stress that HN doesn't go on strike?

Beware: Security researches from Doctor Web reported that an Android banking trojan dubbed Android.SmsSpy.88. origin, initially discovered in 2014, was updated with new ransomware capabilities including a credit card information stealing capability that targets around 100 banking applications by using WebView to display a phishing window on top of the legitimate banking app, and by utilizing a fake Google Play payment phishing page to intercept and send short message service (SMS) and multimedia messaging service (MMS) messages, send unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) requests, and transmit all saved messages to the server, among other malicious actions. Security researchers stated the trojan has infected over 40,000 devices in over 200 countries. Source: http://www.securityweek.com/upgraded-android-banking-trojan-targets-users-200-countries

The free-trial version is 100% complete, no hidden anything. Full product, completely. No, no, no...don't buy it outright. Snuggle up with it for a month. You will probably never go back.

I've been on their beta team for the last 7 years or so. There's no better way to see the innards of a company. These guys are top-notch professionals, have a gold product line, and are totally devoted to their customer base and products. They're in Moldova, once a part of the Soviet Union and now part of God only knows what. If you install the 30-day trial, be prepared to put your head on a little differently. Take a deep breath and get into the underbrush.
