Hi arnel, I have providing the Gilat VSAT for three years and to give you a short idea what the gilat is, this is simply a modem(satellite) with outdoor disk antenna capable of tx-rx and the output is a 10baseT ethernet. So any operating system can run all at the back as long as the application can run on to it.
The Gilat Skystar Advantage model is purely for transactional data design by the Judio(Israeli) for banking application, receive only video and a one port voip module, this kind of service is depend on the bandwidth that the provider allocated. Most of the testing that i have been encounter, critical application that cannot accept the 800ms round trip delay did not pass. But design sometime is wrong and not been engineer carefully meaning no IT consideration just the programmer it self. This is the application that have been pass; Citrix, ATM transaction, Video, Light internet, mail and many other.. jollyr On Fri, 4 Mar 2005 11:39:36 +0800, Bopolissimus Platypus Jr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 4 Mar 2005 11:22:42 +0800, Arnel Pastrana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Does anyone here uses GLAT in any linux server?
