Hi ---

This question falls in the "I saw an ad for it once when I didn't need
it, and now that I need it....." category:

	Could anyone out there direct me towards a company (or
	companies) which make a "PC" (ISA bus, for the purists)
	plug-in card that accepts L-band (950-1450 MHz.) from a
	standard satellite dish LNB and demodulates serial data from
	one of the received signals?

	I'm not sure if it used audio subcarriers or vertical
	blanking interval, and other details.  I guess some manufacturer's
	names and addresses would be the most useful info. at this time.
	If memory serves me correctly, the ad. was in a recent issue of
	BYTE magazine.

Thanks in advance for your help!
