Well Nick - You were right. I changed to a different Earthlink access number and ALL the problems went away. I've never seen this kind of dial up behavior before. The fact that I couldn't get the photos up on my wife's windoze laptop either also suggested that was the problem. She'd viewed the photos yesterday from a different dial up location. Boy it's tough to revert to dial-up. 9 months of the year I enjoy hi-speed cable connections, but in the summer I have no choice but dial-up. Thanks for all the suggestions.
