Hi When I was recently in the US I used my Pipex account (plenty of local dial up points) to check mail. However, at dial-up rates, the best I could really do was to send reduced size jpegs to people back home. I did answer one stock request with a sample image (~600k) but in general, dial-up is not a solution for sending 1Ds raw files... I did find several motels with wireless access, where I could just send stuff straight from my Powerbook, but apart from sending pictures of glorious mountain scenery to friends with office jobs (best on a Monday morning ;-) I did not use it much. One problem I found, was that several motels were unaware of the address of the SMTP server that you needed to use to send mail via their ISP -- I got to visit several motel offices to get the settings direct from their PCs :-) A far better data rate can be achieved with CDs/DVDs and Fedex/UPS ;-) bye for now Keith Cooper Northlight Images http://northlight-images.co.uk Photography - Digital Imaging - Apple Mac Consultancy Tel +44 (0)116 291 9092 Mobile +44 (0)780 162 9397 =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
