My situation is this: my sister leaves our AOL dialup connection on for prolonged periods of time and I need a way to remotely log her out. The main problem is that every time an AOL users logs in they're given a new IP. So I need a way for the computer to notify me (I'm at college) when she logs on and what the current IP is. I can enable remote login and everything, I just need an address to log into.

So I thought that an AppleScript would do the job. You know, have it send me an IM with the IP address whenever my sister logs onto AOL. However, I have zero AppleScript knowledge and even if I did, I have no idea if AOL supports that kind of thing. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

And if you have other ideas as to how I can accomplish my stated goal, post away.
