Thanks very much for your input.  I guess he is going to have to give it a shot 
and see what happens.  We will probably have to call the provider and find out 
more info.

Have supported several Citrix over Satelite situations in the recent past. 
Latency is the big issue as has been stated. We had it for ships in the Gulf of 
Mexico where the satelite was a segment of our WAN, and satelite Internet 
connections for remote offices in Mexico and the western US.

If I remember correctly we lengthened the TCP/IP timeout setting, and increased 
MTU size on each Citrix server. (Ring any bells with you gurus out there?) 
Also, on the Satelite WAN segment we used Packeteer for prioritizing traffic. 
Also ran, VOIP and fax over the same line, plus a webcam to show off our cool 
boat : )

We did have usable if occassionally patchy connectivity. It think it can be 
fine if you set the proper expectations. In the cases above there was really no 
other good connectivity option (dial up land line in the remote areas, and 
cellular service in parts of the Gulf.)
