Hi Conachair,
Wow thanks heaps for this info. I am sure that we can manage to do emails from closer to shore...we were tinkgin though that satellite phone would be great way to keep intouch when out at sea away from coastal cell phone range, and somehow wanted to use the satellite phone with a data packet linked to laptop to access the Raymarine weather charts etc that interface with our electronic charts and radar stuff. (this is all boy stuff to me...I can read charts and use a computer and mobile phone, but anything more thcnical that n that is beyond me. Still have to do a radio course yet before we venture away from Australia).

Cheers,
