Hi Frederick,

Thats a neat setup, thanks for sharing.
Though, I dont know if its economical, as in one has to keep the
computer running for using the software, where as an external TAD is
attached to the TEL port of that modem, i think it would give the same
result with just one time cost of TAD.

It reminds me of WatchDog device, you call in and pc restarts after
certain no.of rings.

Anyways, hope all is well at your end.tc

Regards,
MufazalJ
