It's from dish network, and they include the dish, antenna, modem, and the software used. Unfortunately, it hooks to the usb port, the modem. Another option is to get the package from radio shack that has a tranceiver card instead of the usb modem, with msn service, but you have to buy the PC. Which would be usable in linux? They don't seem to offer a modem connecting to an ethernet card to my knowledge.
