I do something similar. I have a specially worded email that will get picked up by procmail which then executes a script to open up access to whatever IP I specified in the email.

Works really well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
