I would like to set it up so I can send an email or some other message
from a machine over the net or locally to another user to tell them to log
in a check for messages.  I know if they are on I can get their attention
but a lot of times I would like to have my wife log in when I send her a
message that I need to have her look at right away.  The computer is
usually in ear shot so the sound card or speeker can be trigured.  

I would love to have it run by an email address so I can do it from
anywere.  

Any ideas??
