You'll start around 500ms latency and go up from there. Any kind of interactive session (like SSH and RDP) will be excruciating. ----------------------------------------------- I do SSH over geostationary satellite links (C-band) all the time. I'd say it's slow, but not excruciating, unless you type really fast on the network device's CLI. :-) scott
