Re: Putting an i on Starlink

[x y <xy6581@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think the i initiating FTP sessions would be straightforward: call
the customer/data warehouse, pull/push files, hang up, wait 20
minutes, try again.  What I don't know is if each Starlink has a fixed
IP address: a non-static address could be a significant issue.  Any
security based on the IP address would fail and I don't know how/if an
external user could get in.

All I need now is an i and a Starlink.

"I told that girl I could start right away
When she said, "Listen, babe, I got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I found a driver and that's a start."
