Has anyone tried any digital modes thru the satellites? Uhmmm not APRS .. I mean like RTTY or PSK31 ?? I guess you would have to try that on a linear bird .. But I am guessing that the doppler would be a major problem?

Hellschreiber works really well, I've used it several times. There has been a fair amount of SSTV over the years as well.
