Lots of luck. How many different modes can be used to transmit an image ?
FTP, HTTP, TFTP, KERMIT over TELNET, Zmodem over TELNET, SMTP/Mime...you get
the idea. IMNSHO this is a policy/enforcement issue for management not a
technical issue. Management won't take kindly to loosing e-mail someone
can't mail dirty
pictures. Maybe the "public servents" on Capitol Hill will help with the
Communications Act of 1995 ... NOT !
Anyhow, I'll jump back down off the soapbox....

coincidence!
