How can that be? A satellite link has to have *at*least* one second latency [if there are _no_ other delays at all in the connection, and I'm told by colleagues with satellite links that 2-3 seconds is more the norm]]. Meanwhile I'm running ~200ms RTTs for most of the time on my dialup... One of the reasons I haven't switched to a satellite link [yet] is because most of my Internet use can't tolerate those kinds of delays... if one of the satellte providers has figured out a way to cut down the latency, I'll be *thrilled* to hear about it!!! /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
