You are absolutely right Cactus. My BIOS has a setting to auto start the pc by means of the internal clock. All I need is to find my auto shut down program. It can also be started by a lamp timer, not to mention a modem.
I can figure it out, ok. Thanks for the push! but, you are right it might be just as well to have a buddy do it. My mail box can be accessed from any web browser, but I have no forwarding features from my ISP.
The old expression RFI (read the freaking instructions) applies here. I seldom read instructions--a failing!
