There was a timeout of 1 sec. in the elogd daemon, which probably is too short for a satellite connection. Unfortunately I have no satellite here 
around to test it, so I "blindly" increased it to 6 seconds in the current SVN version. Please give it a try. You can increase this yourself, its here 
in the code at (Rev. 2291) line 28270:

   FD_ZERO(&readfds);
   FD_SET(_sock, &readfds);
   timeout.tv_sec = 6;            <----
   timeout.tv_usec = 0;
   status = select(FD_SETSIZE, (void *) &readfds, NULL, NULL, (void *) &timeout);

so you can change the 6 to 10 or so. The disadvantage of a large value is the following: Suppose you submit an entry, and in the middle of the 
submission your browser dies (or the user closes it). If you have a timeout of n seconds, the elogd server will wait that time until it closes the 
connection. During this waiting time is cannot respond to other request, so it might look dead. That's why we should not make it too long.
