I'm not sure about the previous discussion, but I've worked up a system 
like that for the company I work for currently. I've been given permission 
to publish it, so I will as soon as I get a chance.

In our case, it installs the server, connects back to a pre-determined 
host, waits until the user says they're done, closes everything down and 
removes it all. Not perfect, but it works well enough that we're happy with 
it. And a self-extracting and running e-mailable archive is a grand totaly 
of 150k (before e-mail encoding expansion.... which puts it up at about ~210k)

If I haven't posted anything about it within the next 7 days, drop me an 
e-mail. I'm about to head back to school, so getting it up on the web might 
get put aside if I don't happen to get it done fast enough.
