Dan, I have found that in most cases the box itself (and/or the OS) is more likely to be down than just iMail all by itself. Those two situations would both render the modem and notification software inoperable. I have never had iMail crap out on me all by itself. It's always been a hardware failure or the OS locking up entirely. Thus, I am still of the opinion that iMail's monitoring service is of more use where you are monitoring access to an outside network.
