[LOGic] Logform Issue

[Mel Martin]

Yes this is easy to do... ask me tomorrow, I'm falling asleep right now. 
I would however offer this caveat. I was doing exactly this, but there 
are issues with Logic with recovery if there is ever a network 
failure... quite frequent with Wi-Fi. I have abandoned remote access for 
this reason.
