Automatic Email Notification Upon Modem Connection

Your question seems to me to be a little ambiguous. Depending on your intent, the answer should be obvious. If you are the e-mail sender who establishes a connection to the Internet with a dial up modem then, yes you can configure your computer so that when access is capable to the net your computer can immediately consume part of your limited bandwidth for sending an e-mail. If instead you wish to force someone else's computer to surrender their dial up bandwidth so you can push an e-mail to them then, no without a virus like program planted on the other computer you cannot control their computer.

This setup is not using a dial up connection for internet. I am trying to send an automatic email when ever a plc dialer connects to this PC via a dial up connection.

What OS is the PC running?

I recall Labview having the ability to connect to a modem as well as generate emails. Didn't look that hard to program.

You may also want to check with the PLC manufacturer. They may have a program to do that already.

the PC is running Windows XP. Sorry, that would have been a tad useful.

I'll look into labview. thankyou.

Are you using Dial-up for internet connection?

If using Broadband where comes the dial-up?

Do you mean when ....?

Do you mean when you start-up PC and it is connected to Internet then you expect if any mail is in your server?

If the last is your intention then Incredimail is for you.

The computer that is to se.d email is connected to a broad band connect. There is a piece of equpment that has plc connected to it that is sent a 12 volt signal on machine failures. Wben that happens the plc dials a number. We dont want to use pages or cell phones. So we thought it would be nice if it called a computer and that computer emailed us.

If that PC can send you automatically a mail and PC with you is ready to receive the mail [not necessarily you are connected to your mail server] then surely the Incredimail is the solution I know. I had been using its free for quite a time then my son bought its Premium edition and as soon I connected to internet [I was using Dialup at that time] it indicated my mail. Golden Edition may have much more.

And it is known that you are connected to internet.

Secondly I have my accounts to a mail server and have set it to inform an incoming mail by a sound, but in this case I should be connected to the mail client.

Se if your mail client have such facillity.

Hope may be of any help.

I am wondering if there is a way to automatically send an email notification whenever a dial up connection has been established to a PC.

You just have to PING the modem address no connection no PING.. Simples..

There is a script program called Blat. I use it so when our UPS for our VOIP/data stuff drops below 90% (due to power failure) I get an e-mail, and if someone's logoff backup script fails I get an e-mail with the user and computer name (from there I look at the robocopy logs).

If there is some kind of way to kick off a script whenever this connection is made (either through the dialer itself, or windows scheduled tasks) then you can write something to send you an e-mail.

My example (e-mail when robocopy fails to backup with error level 8 or higher):

if errorlevel 8 "\\file\admin\blat.exe" -subject "BackupLocalProfile for %username% on %computername% error" -body "BackupLocalProfile for %username% on %computername% error" -to Administrator@..com,Waldo120@..com -f Administrator@..com -server mail...com
