Yeah I've seen ICA (Citrix) over GPRS and it was fine as well, But Im led
to
believe the latency on SAT connections is particularly bad. Bear in mind I
have never seen/tried a SAT connection, Im baseing this answer on others
experience with SAT connections. So the best thing is to give it a quick go
:), But I'd still say an RDP connection would be more useable over a
standard dialup.

Hopefully Im proved wrong as SAT is probably going to be the only viable
broadband  option If I ever build a house, or they extend the RE-ADSL2 to
MUCH further than 7.5KM :)
