I hooked my Commodore SX-64 to an Inmarsat modem so I could chat via Geostationary orbit! It's very slow, but it actually works!

This project uses the TeensyROM module to add Ethernet to the SX-64: https://www.tindie.com/products/travissmith/teensyrom-cartridge-for-c64128/

I'm using a Glocom GX-10 Inmarsat modem and antenna. The prepaid SIM cards are very expensive! You can see some of my prior experiments with this thing here:
