My SCS PTC-IIPro Mailbox can sit here active, for 100 years and do nothing, UNLESS someone tries to connect to it. Once a connection is established, it lasts as long as the "connectee" wants to stay connected :-) They choose when to disconnect, not the mailbox. So.....my "Robot" mailbox is controlled essentially by any people connecting to it. It does not just fire up by itself :-) 73s Jack VK4JRC
