I am an experienced IT professional, 22 years in the business, but I'm at a
loss when it comes to "marine" access to the Internet.

The only option I've got so far is some type of Inmarsat that will give me
a lousy connection, good for text-only e-mail, and I can't seem to get a
better option, probably because I'm not talking to the right people.
I saw the VOR racers 2 years ago send mpeg videos and digital stills while
sailing in places as remote as the southern ocean.

Does anyone have any suggestions as far as getting on-line while at sea, and
still be able to "surf the web", send/receive still pictures ?
