Hey!
Thanks for all of your suggestions, and I list them here:
1) Mapping to shared drive on Cell computers.
2) FTP (not TFTP) the logs from an anonymous directory.
3) Find a Syslog Daemon for NT.
4) WebApp Framework that will (end of March) include a FTP service.
I will be trying each of these for the 'best' solution. I'll E my solution.
Thank you.
Sans adieu,
Danny
