Don't know about eSignal but the folks at DTNiq 
discouraged me from moving TS2000i from DTN satellite to DTNiq.  The 
problem is not with DTNiq.  As it was explained to me, the main problem is 
that Tradestation has been unwilling to make the programming changes that would 
permit TS2Ki to use the much faster Ethernet data interface rather than the 
present serial interface.  Even with a fast Digi serial interface card with 
128k RAM, TS2Ki (via satellite) can fall 2 to 4 seconds behind PATS quotes 
over the internet in high volume market conditions.  Maybe some of the 
third party, handshake software interfaces can extend the life of TS2Ki as 
an effective intraday trading platform, but since I like to separate my data 
vendor and brokerage arrangements (no TS7), my future seems likely to 
include a program like Fibonacci Trader or Ensign that supports the 
Ethernet interface.  The ability to shift maintenance of the data 
server function to the data vendor seems ideal, as long as one has a 
stable broadband connection, the vendor's servers are reliable and provide the 
amount of data you need. DTN satellite has been rock solid - set it and 
forget it - in the past, much more reliable than anything over the net.  
Now, for those who can access both cable broadband and DSL, a device like the 
Nexland Pro 800 router that has an instant fall over if one feed is lost, may 
approximate the stability of satellite - no personal experience yet.  
Perhaps others would care to share their observations and 
knowledge.
