Special thanks to Jon for his frame option; to Tom for getting to
the basics; and to Tony for a laugh that the whole thing will fail
(this is a given, I believe, mostly because of what he notes: what
if no one is manning the phones or desk when a specific event
occurs) and a second laugh about a security nightmare -- of of which
is likely and true.
I am fairly confident I can persuade them to spring for a program
such as Contribute, but not without due diligence first. I
appreciate all the feedback.

Ay, there's the rub. Do they want the cheapest solution that employs a
multi-step procedure, which will probably lead to failure, or can they be
persuaded to spend a few dollars to make the job fast and easy?
