User clicks a button on a form, a cgi-script runs, determines the ip of the user, and sends a command to "something" on the users pc, which then sends commands to a modem, making it dial a number. So our salespeople can dial directly from the database. This "something", could this be a java-applet, or should it be an active-x? Or something completely different? I probably could install Back Orifice, and send commands to that :-) Leif To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
