Tuning the IP Stack?

[Schmeits, Roger]

You might be better off running tcpdump to find out what is going on.  I
have heard some funky connections satillite links use.  satellite link my
not be using the full typical TCP three way handshake?  I dont have one but
have just odd stories about them.

my 2 cents worth.

Can you "tune" the Linux IP stack?

My email programs get hung frequently when downloading POP email. Tried 
Kmail, Slypheed and Mozilla mail. All exhibit this trait.

It seems to have started when I converted to this 2-way satellite Internet 
(high latency).

Can the Linux IP stack be tuned to better cope with it.

Thanks,
Michael
