Tell them to scan the pics at less resolution or buy cheaper cameras or you get BroadBand.

Another way is to tell them to reduce the pic size before they send them.
There is a way of doing this but I have no idea where the pics are coming from and what O/S is used and what applications are used.

If you want to discuss this further then I think I may be able to help.

There is a software solution by Microsoft and free.
