[squid-users] Skymaster 630e "Internet Page Accelerator" replacement?

Hello,

There is a service here in Brazil that uses the Skymaster 630e
(http://www.gilat.com/Products_Skystar360e_OverView.asp) "modem". It
communicates via satellite and it have a huge delay in the requests...
so browsing the Internet isn't possible, to solve that they provide a
"Internet Page Accelerator", unfortunately just for M$ Windows.

The software runs with Wine, but requires a local windows installation :(

The basic operation of that software is: it's a proxy that reduces ACK
requests "packaging" requests like this: Each page is downloaded in 2
requests: 1 for HTML and 1 for Images and likes

So I wonder if that is possible with Squid or other GPL software? If
it's not possible with Squid right now, how difficult would be to
implement that?

Thanks,

Gustavo
