something (including both internet connections) go down (ie: excavators
excavating the cables...). I use a Falcon modem (actually a repackaged
Siemens IC35 cellphone) serially linked to a linux machine and smstools
on debian; just put my message file (format: "To: %s\n\n%s",
intl-number-without-leading-+, message-text) in the output spool
directory, and pronto! it texts me out. Should I reply, the message gets
deposited in the incoming directory and a script of choice called to
parse it and take action (like, in nagios, acknowledging problems so
that colleagues are notified and further notifications of the problems
shut up).
