A modem can send sms , although a inexpensive dsl/cable (as mentioned) would
not be that much more expensive, and provide a lot more benefit.

inexpensive DSL/Broadband to the data center as an 'emergency' supplemental
circuit is pretty affordable in most cases and comes in handy many times, out
of band of revenue dependent main circuits.

Greetings,
I used to be part of the old Lyris/Sunbelt community, but I have been out of IT
administration for several years. I was a PM in that time, and just recently
came back to IT.
A situation arose this weekend where I could use your advice. We use
SolarWinds for network, server, and application monitoring, and it works very
well for us. Our core switch went down this weekend, severing all external
communications, so SolarWinds could not send alerts to external resources. Do
you use any kind of remote external monitoring that would send an alert if
communications go down?
Thank you!
Eric
