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

If you put your monitor on the other side of the broken link, external to your network, then pages directly to the cell provider will go through. So, if your T3 goes down, an external monitor that is not affected by the outage can send the page. On Tue, 3 Aug 2004 12:44:00 -0400, Matthew

It is not mad idea - 2 CPU servers are not sugnificantly more expansive as 1CPU (and notice, we count P-IV MMultiThread as 2 CPU) but increases system redundancy to the run-away processes. Of course, it is not hardware redundancy, but it REALLY works. On Sat, 31 Jul 2004, Michel Py wrote:
