I have seen recent ads in boating magazines and other places for briefcase-sized satellite uplink-"telex terminal" pairs. These sets are advertised to work throughout the world by allowing the user to communicate via satellite/telex. My questions are: what does using this thing cost? How does one get access to the transponder? Can one do voice on such a beast? Can I build a cheaper land-based unit? etc. Thanks, john mcdermot@unmvax.cs.unm.edu John McDermott 505/828-2562-H Applied Technology Associates 505/247-8371-W MCDERMOTT@DDNVX1.AFWL.AF.MIL
