Hi Peerless

Not enabling a Proxy server (as supplied by the satellite operator), results in all data been received by the modem only - in my case a 56K V90 external.

The whole idea of using 1-way satellite broadband, is to acheive high speed d/l's when you don't have access to phone-line ADSL.

YES, a modem connection works fine, but I am used to 80k+/sec not 5k/sec (5k on a good day ;-) as provided by a dial-up connection.
