Subject: [Leica] OT: Fast DSL service for image uploads?

i don't know what the dealio is with you and Cox, but I would hope/think 
that when one hires a
professional photographer he is using the best tool available. My local 
cable provider (Comcast)
provides me 3 mbps vs. 300-400 kbps on dial-up. big difference. you might 
have personal
reservation against Cox, but this is business, not personal.

additionally, jay is right, set up your own FTP site, manage clients via 
password log-in etc. If
you don't have the time/skill to set it up, just out-source it.
