Do you have a shell account with some ISP?
Or is it otherwise possible for her to phone into some machine with
a net connection?

In that case just elaborating on my `no need to go overboard with
Perl' example should make it possible to get here the ppp-deb might
you have left. [ you could even setup your home machine to temporarily
pick up the phone and allow her in, now that would be something :]
