I have a 2 fold solution to this problem.
1) I have a networked computer next to the bed, so I don't have to get
up. (Besides, there's a bar fridge next to the bed.)
I use VNC to remote control the Win98SE box in the shop that has the
modem and Internet Connection Sharing so I can dial
in whenever we need to without getting up.
2) My wife has a PC on her side of the bed too. (Julie is fond of IRC
and is an online Scrabble addict)

She wouldn't let me bring the Vax 6000 into the house itself, but telnet
is a wonderful thing, and I have an Emulex terminal
server now too :^)
