I'd like to keep an eye on my late mother-in-law's place remotely. Best I can get out there is DSL, and it ain't snappy, so one idea is to get two Telebit Trailblazer modems, one here, one out there, dial into the place, pull imagery via UUCP. Trailies spoof UUCP natively, and they deal nicely with bad connectivity. One could take that one step further and bring back a bit of Usenet.
