Hey, I used to use one of those devices. We had a server in a clients basement 70 miles away in Oxford. Mine used a simple code to reboot the PC. Ring 3 times, hang up. Ring 2 times, hang up and then the power would cycle. The server run an access control system in a college dorm. All Fox for DOS based. Of course when the system was down nobody could get into their rooms :-) -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
