Hi,=0D
=0D
The latest version of my xAP Watcher program will support this, I can=0D
let you have a copy of the beta when it's done.  It checks mouse=0D
movement and keypresses and toggles an "Active=3DYes/No" line in
the xAP=0D
message.  It also gives you username/cpu usage/memory/HDD=0D
space/Processes and will display xAP display messages like incoming=0D
caller id. It's freeware and works on windows NT/2000/XP, probably 9X as=0D
well but untested.=0D
