I finally stumbled onto success in getting my Linux box to work with 
satellite Internet. I have already sent Doug a SxS. All it takes is 4 
little commands done after the network is running:

# Tune the network to work with the satellite Internet
echo 134900 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default
echo 134900 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
ifconfig eth0 mtu 1460

Found it on a discussion list about satelite Internet.

Now my email doesn't choke, downloads will finish, and surfing doesn't even 
hang every few pages.
