[lug] Linux and Satellite Internet Access?

[Trever C. Trader]

I dont' see why there would be any problems.  Satellite internet like
anything else uses a standard IP stack for it's communication.  

The only problem that I have with Satellite Internet is the fact that it's
half-duplex with about a 600ms lag time up and down.
