Sign her up for a dynamic dns hostname <www.dyndns.org> are very good, and the Linux clients work very well, run as a daemon etc. The service is free, and you refer to her box via myname.dyndns.org and then if they have the correct a record assigned to that hostname then you can connect. The clients can be configured (i.e, how often to update dyndns records etc). Andrew. -- Andrew Hodgson, Bromyard, Herefordshire, UK. Email: Andrew at hodgsonfamily.org
