Hi guys,
I'm a graphic designer and I work part-time for a magazine (15 days a month)
and the rest of my life I work from home. Generally, everything goes on just
fine but, there are times when I need to remotely connect to my office G3
PMac (700 Km. away...) to d/load files, logos, etc.
Plus, the Mac I want to connect to is on an Ethernet LAN, while another
PowerMac 8200 provides the IP connection to the Internet.
So, my idea is:
on specified days, at certain hours I program the Macs, thru the Energy
Saving control panel, to switch on and off (i.e. Mon, Wed and Fri, from
23:00 to 01:00)
give them some time to start up the file sharing procedures
tell the 8200 (via Applescript) to connect to the internet and copy the IP
address in the clipboard
another script tells Outline Express to send to my email address a message
with the content of the clipboard (the IP address)
another script starts Hotline Server, which I just love, containing an alias
to my G3
I connect from home with Hotline Client to the IP address I've hopefully
received and I do what I need to do
after, say, 45'', shut everything off, Outlook, Hotline and Internet
connection
Am I just crazy? Is it possible? Right now, I've crashed on Outlook, I don't
know how to tell it to send something, it's VERY confusing to me...
Any ideas?
Thanx,
Guido Benigni

P.S. I cannot use the web sharing control panel because from home I can't
see the G3 on the ethernet, I tried...
