Hi John: I understand your concerncs.
I don't think qsk is going to be possible with any method due to the latency. I used to run a Kachina via the phone lines and there was a bit of latency. I also an ISDN line for the Kachina and there still was some latency. I'm using cable modems at both locations with the same ISP. I ping my system occaisionally and for the most part I get an average return time of 15 to 25 milliseconds. Even at that speed QSK would not be practical.
