Well it takes two round trips so 100,000 miles is about right.

Haha, I knew someone was going to wiki that and point it out. I just didn't
want to be "That guy". =)

You are off by a factor of two on your round trip distance:

Quick approximations :
Speed of light is 186,000 miles per second.
Round-trip distance of VSAT is approx 100,000 miles ( up-down-up-back ) The
mechanisms of the network always add to slow the theoretical max speed So I
stick with my 600-700ms best case scenario

Hmm, that's about double what I remember, but maybe I was thinking of
single-leg latency.
Too busy to do the math on a Friday. :)

Hehe... I've done it. It's painful. But better than having to book a
plane ticket
for emergencies.
Actually, TightVNC with local cursor update was bearable...
