Summary: Satelite delays, anybody?


I was just wondering if anyone out there has tested T'blazer modems
with mulitple satelite hops, such as might be experienced going to
Taiwan.  Chances are that it would take at least two hops, for
close to 100,000 miles traveled, meaning a turnaround delay of 0.75
to 1.0 seconds.  From my understaning, the TelCo usually routes
overseas calles so that 1/2 goes by cable, while the other half of
the duplex goes by satelite.  This keeps the delay from getting too
out of hand.  Of course, one just might get cable both ways, or
even satelite both ways depending on luck of the draw.
