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

SSH client/server authors would do well to learn the lessons of telnet line mode. As would authors of 'interactive' command line applications. The NVT concept is still useful in this day and age, far beyond the LA36. (I.e., if the termcap entry says 'dumb', honour it. There is a damn good reason we are saying 'turn off the bling'.) --lyndon
