In the first instance I'd suggest you see if you can establish a good
fax connection over the same phone lines, preferably using fax 
machines rather than PCs with modems. This will give you some idea of 
how bad the situation is. I've had problems with fax connections with 
Cuba.

If you just need to send progress reports, consider using an Internet 
Provider in Cuba, if available and communication is possible; or fax, 
if it works.

It is possible to send binary data by fax at a pinch, though I don't 
know how reliable it is with really bad lines (it does have error-
correcting capability).

Best wishes,
