Hmm, now there's a nice idea. I've since had the offer of using an SMS
gateway, which I'll look at over the next few days. But reading it from
a PDB - sneaky, and I know how to decode PDBS. I like it.

Oh, and ECONZ has been persuaded to release its Incident Reporting
System as GPL'd code. Runs on a LAMP box, and I'll be starting the
Sourceforge project tomorrow. It's a great system for tracking
maintenance issues and I've used it for years.
