Only one of the hosts he listed actually resolved to an IP address. But it's ping time is 40 to 60ms.  The shortest ping time I have ever
gotten on Starband is 670ms.  So that host must not be on a
geosynchronous satellite link.
    

iDirect and Nera (dvb-rcs/linux) have the shortest overall lagtime
between 480 and 520 msec
Unsasat (docsis/vxworks) is between 500 and 550
Direcway (dvb-rcs/vxworks) between 700 and 2000 (or worse)

we have also 2 SIP voip lines running and the delays are not really
noticeable with iDirect, Nera and UnaSat
don't try such a service with DW or hughesnet, they have a widespread
name, but the qos is terrible, specially in the upload part

  

This is all *great* wireless info, Arjan. Thanks again for sharing it. My exprience with Direcway has been rather lousy, though th 7000-series hardware is much easier to use than the old proxy software on the Wintendo box solution.
