Our next adventure for our site is to produce a live (or pre-recorded) streaming radio show from our site. I'm looking into what the most reasonable (free/cheap) solution would be. The broadcast point would be in a remote location which has only satellite internet connection (Direcway.com - 100kbs up & 1Mbs down), so hosting directly is not much of an option. We would max out at four or five listeners. Real Audio offered a solution for carrying hundreds of simultaneous listeners, but they charge an insane amount of money for their service.

I'm looking for somewhere in between.

We have our site hosted professionally on a Unix server. Is there perhaps a way to use the web server as a broadcast point? Is there some sort of program that we could use to hop our signal from there? Isn't there a way I could just write it into some sort of server-side scripting rather than buying a chunk of software? Help!!

Thanks a million!!
