This would only be used when = something goes wrong. The hope is that we could automate some problems = and handle other situations remotely avoiding having to visit the system = in person. Any thoughts? We can modify the system so if it means modifying the = driver or some other code, I am willing to try. Just need a little = direction. Thanks for your time, -- DaveD --Apple-Mail=_D7374F51-629E-4457-AC12-053383B73D6C--
