Synchronize using UDP (satellite)

Is there anyway to synchronize using UDP? I have a satellite link that I
need to be able to synchronize over and it only supports UDP. Is there a
built in way to send and recieve UDP messages to and from a device?

I cannot think of a way to accomplish this. It certainly isn't
currently a supported protocol. Synchronization depends on reliable
communication, which UDP is not.

I believe there are technologies out there that you could try that put a
TCP layer on top of UDP (I think Broadbeam used to make that type of thing).

Does QAnywhere support this kind of messaging? Thanks.
