this is a reasonable approach. Please give me advice about the
possibilites or alternatives.

I want a program on sql server 2000 on computer #1 to use dts to
update a table on my hosted sql server on the web (computer #2).
Computer #2 sends email to comuter #3 (has same program as computer #1). Computer #3 starts dts package on #3 automatically after the email notification is received and updates tables on #3 from tabes on computer #2.

I need computer #3 to react quickly to data change on #1.

Thanks for ideas.
John"

You'd be better off having computer #3 read that table for updates (throw a bit field on there for items that haven't been ran yet. You can run it as often as you wish if you check the bit field as you run them so response time isn't an issue.
