[BBLISA] emergency pagers

[Dean Anderson]

There was a good article in linux journal this month about a $400 (I
think) an SMS "telemetry" device that speaks SMS directly to the
carrier. The article was how to interface this to Nagios.  The advantage
is that if the internet is down (eg problem affecting mail server, but
not nagios server), this device doesn't rely on internet services to be
working to get pages out.

I'm not doing this yet, but probably will be soon. Looks to me like the 
best all-round solution, bar none.
