Strange request but I'm after hiring the equipment to do this and setting it up 'in the field' so to speak.

Can anyone help me out?

IIRC Ian, you still need a normal telephone connection for sending data. The satellite link is only used for receiving data, so unless your 'field' has a phone socket its not going to be easy.

Nope, you can have a full two data link to the 'Net over satellite now.

How long would you be looking to use it for?

The process I've been involved with for providing a sat service is fairly long winded. You need to provide lat & long co-ordinates for the spot it'll be working from and getting info back from the base station wasn't a quick process.
