I oversee an ARES group.
We would like to provide digital still photos back to the Emergency
Management Offices from disaster sites.
What type of gear would I need to do this ?
How long does it take to transfer a photo ?


We send photos across our network now and again.
Also drawings, power point presentations, spread sheets,
software, whatever.

Network is 9600 baud, about three dozen nodes.
Takes anything from a minute to several hours.
Depends on the size of the photo file.
If you really need high resolution 1.5 MB JPEG that takes awhile ;-)
Usual case is in the several minutes range.

We use various windows applications.
You could just as well use Linux or MAC, all work fine.

Email is simplest since the recipient can
do whatever they want with the attachment, and
the email can explain why the picture was sent,
when and where it was taken, etc..
