I believe the mailing list is to deal with understanding issues and
suggesting optimizations.
However, I enclose a short bibliography on the TCP/IP Issues via VSAT,
which may be of use for those
joining the group more recently...

VSATs Course: Small Terminal Satellite Communications Technology,
Applications & Opportunities
http://www.amp.york.ac.uk/dept/contedu/flyer/vsats.html
Annual 1-Week Course (27th - 31st March 2000), in the heart of the
historic City of York, UK.
SCOPE: Communications systems using Very Small Aperture Terminals
(VSATs) are expanding rapidly world-wide.
VSAT systems provide a wide variety of communications requirements and
offer considerable opportunities for
exploitation, especially Internet and multimedia services. The Course
gives a technical foundation for all those
entering this area, coupled with an appreciation of the latest
developments, and aims to provide the tools and
understanding to deal with VSAT systems and their applications
