RE: [OT] need a batch file writing please.

I believe xAP might be our saviour.

I had discussions with Stuart about the idea of using my Metoer CallID
unit to register a particular ID which would then activate an xAP
program to ping something.

I havent discussed it again recently, but this seems like a good idea.
Other than that a scheduled batch file pinging would suit me for now.

Hi Dean,

If you have MSN Messenger on your computer, just have it logged on and
it will keep the line active. Has worked for me in the past much to my
horror with my online time after I was away for a week.

I am actually looking at something for this myself using SMS messenging
and a small application on the PC. You would need a GSM modem (about
=A3130) connected to a free serial port and my software. With this, the
idea is that your router only connects after you send a preset message,
your router would then hangup after the idle time so would only be
online for as long as you need to connect to it.

Regards
Dave...

Due to living in a Village I am one of many who cant have ADSL. I
therefore have to manage with ISDN.

Is it possible someone could write me a batch file that would ping
something every 10 minutes. If this is possible I could then connect
via
my VPN to Home without my wife being there to connect for me.


Thanks



Dean.
