To log on like that would be a breach of the rather fearsome security code,
and I wouldn't want to be the first to do it!
This goes back to the BMA argument about encryption, vs. the NHSE argument
about network security. The Code of Connection says that you may not connect
to NHSnet and the Internet simultaneously. I can understand this, although
it is a pain.
