Any reason the monitor can't be external, then send an SMS via email directly to the cell phone provider, rather than an alias on the down network? If it's a private network, it could do a web request every minute to a monitor. If it hasn't received a request in two minutes, send the page directly to the SMS provider.

Does anyone know of a way to send SMS messages without an internet connection? Having a network monitoring system send sms pages via email very quickly runs into chicken-egg scenario. How do you email a page to let the admins know their net has gone down. :-P AT&T shut down their TAP dialup late last year. The only method that comes to mind is to buy a GSM modem which has SMS messaging capability. Has anyone done this? -Dan
