Hi Greg.

There is absolutely no way to access my home system from the outside.  
It does not have its own domain name.  This is why I am looking at maybe 
"boosting" what I have running on J2EEGuys for the laptop, as well as 
trying to figure out how to get my Sendmail install to forward through 
my DSL ISP.  The forwarding through my DSL ISP is not something that I 
have been able to figure out yet.  And the same applies for successfully 
getting my laptop to authenticate with my server.

Regards,
Steve
