I am looking into the possibility of running a T1 circuit via a satellite
circuit.  The questions I have are:
 
- Are there any gotchas to running a T1 satellite circuit via cisco routers
  that I should know about in advance?  How well does IP respond to the
  delays?

- How much does a complete ground station cost?  I intend to bypass my PTT
  and deal directly with Intelsat.  Has anyone tried anything like that?

- Anything else that would be helpful that I should know about when looking
  at the various satellite ground station proposals I am getting would be
  appreciated.
 
Thanks,

Hank
