Title: Dial out with text to speech alerting

Sorry if this is a resend didn’t realize the subject line had gotten tagged and wouldn’t want my message to have been dropped. J       I am looking for this same type of solution.  I have not been able to find anything that will work for us.  The closest that I have come is a company that will convert emails received to voice phone calls.  www.email2phone.net     If you know of or find a better solution please let me know.  I am not fond of relying on both the internet being up and an external provider working to provide me critical notifications.   Tim       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cochrane, Jim Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 12:23 PM To: whatsup_forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: !!Spam!!: [WhatsUp Forum] Dial out with text to speech alerting   All, I am looking for a better way to do alerting for hours when our group is not up and scanning every email. We are looking to use some kind of output from What's up Gold to go to some software or appliance that will dial out and call a specific number. Once the call is established, the alert out put would be converted from text to speech and be read. We are a fairly small shop so we don't want to invest a whole lot. I was hoping to implement something for no more than $2.5k. I would prefer an internally managed solution, but I am open to externally hosted recommendations in case this doesn't pan out. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Jim Cochrane
