Network messaging

[Feltis, Ralph C.]

Ahh yes, I see how preparing an elegant solution would provide greater
flexibility.  However, Cordula's solution (ssh user at some.host strings
somefile) is about a 15 second fix, whereas setting up a server is, well,
not so much a 15 second fix.  Thanks for your all help guys.

Ralph, my experience as a web developer and newness to system 
administration directs me to see this in terms of an intranet. I think 
installing Apache on the network server and then using a simple CGI app 
would provide much more flexibility for future enhancements and the warm 
fuzzy feeling that comes from writing apps on app software rather than on 
the system level.

Or something. ;)
