You can take a look at Microsoft's Web-Site and do a search on
'increasing tcp/ip timeout' or something similar - it should bring up
an article on their TechNet titled:

"Configuring Windows NT Satellite Networking at Coho Winery"

You can adjust MTU, window sizes, etc. with regedt32. The article
suggests the following registry entry to help deal with satellite link
latency:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System \CurrentControlSet \Services \NetBT \Parameters
\BcastQueryTimeout

I recommend using PCAnywhere32 Version 9.0 with the latest updates and
Microsoft's recommended
registry entries to deal with satellite delay. I currently use PCAnywhere32
successfully on remote satellite
sites with NT.
