Dear Elaine et al.,

I recommend FTP as well. We have an extremely easy to use FTP program
(EmTec Network Suite) for OS/2, to transfer images to our NT server and then
write CDs. A free trial of this FTP software is available via the internet
at:

http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/ens.html

The full licensed version is only about $30:00 US anyway.

I have no commercial affiliation with this company.
