We run a few 2 way satellite links with boats in the Gulf of Mexico.
Mostly for sporadic email use. Required Packeteer or similar for sharing
bandwidth with IP phone and fax.
Several remote sites in Mexico and Western US are using satellite Internet
access from DirectWay. Hit the farm through Nfuse site. Latency is high
but not a show stopper. Heavier use of client/server, Office and terminal
applications perform acceptably.
Not sure on pricing of the above, but could get that if you're interested.

Subject: [THIN] Citrix Network Technology Possibilties
I have a customer site a rural town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
where I have real dilemma.
The not-so-pretty facts:
1) No DSL or Cable provider
2) No local dialup or ISDN internet service
There are 3.5 (1 is part-time) users at this site who use a Citrix
published desktop (they run primarily MS Office and a custom client/server
app). I ended up going with a 56K frame relay circuit. This is proving
to be very slow and expensive (now appx $700 USD/month).
I have heard that 2 way satellite latency is just too high for Citrix
applications. Is that still the case? Any technology or options that I
haven't considered worth looking at?
Thanks in advance for assistance.
