Are the times that the power is enabled and disabled the same every day? If so, it may be possible for you to set up a job that dials the computer from "home base" and configure the computer for Wake-On-Modem. That way if the computer is plugged into the mains it will turn on when it detects a ring. Alternatively, some BIOSes allow you to schedule computer boot/shutdown sequences -- if you can't solve it, you may have to look into locating a system that will allow you to do this. -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd.
