the satellite ain't here neither .... nor do they really mention that they are one way so you need a phone line and flat rate package .

I would avoid till they are known a bit better, these one way sat operations come and go a lot . Read this thread

If you are stuck on dial up have you tried the Eircom anytime package 150 hours for 29.99 a month. I presume some of the other isps offer similar packages?

SkyDSL are a much better known provider and aren't all that expensive.
