Eloy - thanks for the thought.  My main use case is to control MH from my
phone when I am away - this would require opening up a port out the firewall
to my server, and then I have to deal with the issue of securing that port. 
That is why I have liked the chat mechanism - I don't do anything that a
port scanner of my IP would find.
