We will then offer service throughout the entire US and when the rest of our satellites are up we will be world-wide. We expect to be world-wide by early next spring so keep an eye out. We are constantly adding new service areas and once we have good coverage maps available I will post them on my web site. We have a Linux driver developed and I'm pretty sure it can be ported to Free-BSD. Due to system limitations you can only be assigned one IP address per unit. Sorry.
