Hi Nick,

I think I will first stick with your original suggestion: that of faxing - no need to dial-up, check email.. just hook up a fax machine - straighforward - thanks!

Regards
Dennis

It is probably possible to write the app that every X minutes connects (unless it satys connected most of the day) and checks the e-mail looking for e-mails with the report. They may have certain subject line. There is also a security issue as the e-mail may be intercepted. It may or may not be a problem.
