What I suggested was a filter that, once triggered by yourself, will send a message back to you, so you know your TB is still up and running. This thread has evolved into smething like "how to remotely access your PC by using The Bat". This is not what I meant. If you want to remotely access your PC, there are other programs around. PCanywhere comes to mind. Be aware that if you have remote access, so will anybody else who knows your password. SSL encyrption comes to mind - but certainly not a plaintext password sent by mail! Regardless of whether it is in the subject line or a header. the more access you allow yourself to have to your computer while on the road, the more you'll have to think about security. -- Cheers, Thomas.
