Johnfm3:

Sure, my wife is not a system admin. Power user as best. We both work, an email is something we can do from our phones. The problem is while were at work, an the kids ask me to unlock the internet as the proxy is to restrictive for the site they want. My wife or I could send a email an know that within a set time the site will be added to the approved list an the proxy service reloaded. Add to that off work hours while were on the train going to or from work. No use of internet to connect via the Mac’s. So SSH is out. Again, email is the one thing we both have almost anywhere. With AT&T, I get email while in the mountains. Pretty nice.

An why might I not want to use a web page might you ask. Good question. My wife works with at Microsoft for probably the 1 group who doesn’t allow personal Internet usage… Which is rough as during my time at the big M$ I had hotmail, jeepforum, an OpenSuSE all open (Shoot, i am at amazon writing this). Further more, whats simpler than just sending a email with a subject of allow an a web domain in the body. An I should be able to set this up to only accept emails from our emails so that the kids dont just send one them self.

I see, thanks for the explanation. Sounds like you have all of the angles covered.
