Thanks, Dan, for the info. However, I believe those programs would be
overkill.

So far, the program I am most intrigued in are bigbrother and mon.

Wow, I haven't heard that one in a long while. Big Brother is simple to set up, works great. The Northern Pacific Railroad used it, as did Texas A&M and other assorted large networks. I used it when it was first released and the author is a helluva guy, home programming operation. It just watched logfiles and emails updates to your ! machine, which gets parsed to html for your viewing pleasure with your favorite browser. It's simple to use as the docfiles, back then, were quite well written and easy for a non programmer to set up, IF you follow the instructions. It's probably better now than what I used 8 years ago. You do that, it will work and not place any great strain on the machines resources. They just need to have email running. Ric
