 Thanks Anssi !

  I guess I'll be doing the same thing with the shell

  - an external server - this might work ! (I know of an
external server I might have access to.)  Have you seen it
someplace implemented (I.e. do you know where could I
"borrow" scripts to do this), or did it just occur to you ?

    Thanks again,
