HELP!!! HELP!!! HELP !!!

Dear Friends

I need to know in Linux TCP.h, how, is possible to modify the delay time
before to acknoledge packets, from the default value to five seconds.
I've modified the TCP_ACK_TIME value from 3 to 30.000 but I havent
obtained the right result, some times the client wait before to send ack
some times no.
Should necessary to change others value ?
I need this modification to minimize the numbet of ack packets in my
satellite network (round trip delay of 1.5 sec) letting the ack
procedure be done by data packets that are generated from the client at
0,25 pack/sec (5 seconds should be ok).
I'll be gratefull for every your suggestions

Thanks in advance
