Method and apparatus for requesting and retrieving information from a source computer using terrestrial and satellite interfaces    
United States Patent6016388   
Link to this pagehttp://www.wikipatents.com/6016388.html
Inventor(s)Dillon; Douglas M. (Gaithersburg, MD)
AbstractA system in which a personal computer sends messages into a network such as a TCP/IP network using a conventional dial-up link and downloads data from the TCP/IP network using a high-speed one-way satellite link. A preferred embodiment uses a conventional SLIP provider to connect to the TCP/IP network and uses a commercial software TCP/IP package that has a standard driver interface. A spoofing protocol compensates for the long propagation delays inherent to satellite communication.
