With 56K modems, it is not so slow. Put it this way, html text
files take almost no time on average. Pics are a different story
if there are a lot and they are biggish. You (OP) will see, but it is
quite manageable.

Most people, especially women, and computers, can do 2
things at once. So think of something else to do while you are
uploading stuff. Don't just be patient. Be busy instead. Best
do things that do not add to the bandwidth
burden. Like... er... working on a doc, manipulating a pic,
even cleaning out the dog kennel...
