long ago when I played with a satellite internet link, it was windows only, and required some special software on the windows box which spoofed the 3 way handshake and also ACKs to give the IP stack a false sense of improved latency. As long as the signal was good so packet loss was small, it worked OK. It worked well for FTP and WWW when you didn't care about latency, as once data was streaming it came down pretty fast. Interactive use - ssh for example - was almost impossible, and uplink speed was very poor. my point being that you'll have to mess about a lot with timer settings to make satellite link work properly without timeouts, whether you can find some sort of tun/tap driver which will do the spoofing and improve perceived latency is another matter. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
