I have heard that there are big problems with the Globalstar sats and system to the point of going under. MaxGate does have a Satmon piece which will track sat availabilty and send the email at an appropriate time.

It's a very frustrating system. But I hadn't heard the going under part. They claim to be spending millions on their satellites. I have satmon, and I wasn't aware that that's what it does. Thank you.

The going under part was just a rumor I heard and from friend's experience I can see why.
As far as the satmon, here is a personal communication from Luis himself....
"Sounds like your neighbor needs to purchase xgate. I cant imagine trying to use globalstar without XGate. Globalstar users really need the use of the satellite monitor with the GO button on it. Not sure if you have tried that feature. The satmon monitors the signal strength and when its solid for 30 seconds then presses the go button for you. This feature is indispensable for globalstar users."
