Yeah, I am sort of doing that now, tho currently manually.
Mainly because I have for the last week or so been wanting
to read some fresh mail before your am mail run to Dave.

The main economic question is the significant modem handshaking time.
Obviously there is twice as much of that with a dual run per day.
Its a pretty small cost tho, probably no more than an extra 15c/day.

Its not a question of afford, the cost is quite trivial.
