I've been on triple-satellite-hop calls with more than four seconds of 
delay.  And obviously, astronauts and cosmonauts have no trouble phoning 
home.  It's all a matter of conversational turn-taking.  People who are 
good at it have no problem, while people who are nervous or impatient 
can't usually deal with it.
