Hello Elmar, I understand better the "why not demand dialing". I would lookup ssh/openssh and findout how to send a command instead of logging into the computer, I think just having to remember a batch or shell name will be easier than having to logon to the computer.
Just remember to not allow from the internet, unless you really do need for other reasons. I hope this is helpfull.
