We have a similar product here in Australia from a company called ursys. While I haven't seen it, my understanding was that it was an appliance type device. Regardless of wether you need a windows box to control the satellite connection, you can still have a squid box upstreaming to it and clients using the higher performance squid cache.

Hello, There is a service here in Brazil that uses the Skymaster 630e (http://www.gilat.com/Products_Skystar360e_OverView.asp) "modem". It communicates via satellite and it have a huge delay in the requests... so browsing the Internet isn't possible, to solve that they provide a "Internet Page Accelerator", unfortunately just for M$ Windows. The software runs with Wine, but requires a local windows installation :( The basic operation of that software is: it's a proxy that reduces ACK requests "packaging" requests like this: Each page is downloaded in 2 requests: 1 for HTML and 1 for Images and likes So I wonder if that is possible with Squid or other GPL software? If it's not possible with Squid right now, how difficult would be to implement that?
