How do I send out an email if the network is down?
I have had success using a GSM phone hooked up to the server via USB. (Bonus is that the server constantly 'charges' the phone). An ugly set of scripts deals with taking emails and changing them into SMS messages which are then transmitted through that phone to another.
I use an old 1xRTT Sprint phone and send SMS via SNPP. As a bonus, as long as I know the IP the PPP connection has, I can SSH back as long as whatever took out all my hardlines doesn't kill all the cell towers in range. ~Seth
