“DirecPC Users Now Able to Run USB Satellite Modems With
Linux.”
“Helius, Inc., the premier technology developer for satellite
data solutions, today announced it has enhanced its Network Edition
for DirecPC software to support Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Satellite Modems used with the DirecPC satellite data service.
What’s more, the software is the first that is supported through
Linux, a multi-platform, open-sourced, multitasking operating
system.”
“Over the past five years Helius has actively developed
enhancements for the DirecPC satellite service. Helius was the
first to develop software to make DirecPC usable in a network
environment, specifically for Novell LANs. Expanding the offering,
Helius also developed versions for Windows NT and Linux.”
