I forgot to mention this, but part of the motivation for
this message was that several of us semi-jokingly discussed
the concept of running a PIG from a passenger aircraft,
given that a couple of airlines are starting to get into
the ISP business.  Not that any of us necessarily want
to communicate with colleagues while flying;  still,
the possibilities are interesting, and I can see no
reason why one couldn't run a laptop pig while on
a flight (with just a couple of streams, of course!).
