I'm toying with a similar idea, though of putting a Raspberry Pi in remote offices to do tests from. I'm just looking for something I can ssh too, however, it also doesn't seem like much of a stretch to put some kind of web-based screen that someone in the office could run an automated scan, and read us off information that might help. ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- ch...@westnet.com -- (914) 948-3162 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/
