The command line would be something like C:\whatever\path\iexplore.exe http://www.yourpage.com/script.php And somewhere in the config you can tell it to "End this program after X minutes". Set that at whatever and IE will shutdown after that many minutes. Seems to work well if you can't get AT working... ---John Holmes...
