About your only real option for any kind of speed would be satellite such as
directTV. http://directv.direcway.com/
It uses both upload and download from the dish. You can also get TV as
well. Price is not great but it does work and you can adjust the dish for
wherever you are (can't be moving though).

Me again, ask, learn, ask, learn.

This one is about internet connectivity. The marina has wireless
connectivity which is great but what are my options underway or at anchor?

Are there any options for a substantial connection, something through
which
I could move larger files? I imagine that if cost is no issue then there
is
certainly an answer but last time I checked, cost was an issue.

If nothing affordable then even something to beam a few e-mails through
would be good. Maybe I should be looking more closely at those PDAs ...
just
replaced my cell phone, wonder if they'll let me return it.

Any of you guys connected while away from the docks? If so, tell us what
rigs you're using and what's good/bad about them.

I was wondering about that- wouldn't the slight roll from wave action
screw up the dish "aiming point"?.
noah

KVH or someone with a similar name makes a dish that can
be used while in full motion, spinning on an anchor, and rolling.

It's not cheap though... (hense me not testing it yet).
