Not to mention that if the system were failing, you wouldn't be able to
telnet in from work... right?
I also think you should consider this seriously:

In other words, log ICMP traffic to and from your system, to demonstrate
whether it is working or not. These rules ought to do the trick:
ipfwadm -I -a accept -o -W eth0 -P icmp
ipfwadm -O -a accept -o -W eth0 -P icmp
This will log any ICMP packet that comes in or goes out your eth0
interface. If your system fails, and your ISP claims that they are
pinging you, check your "dmesg" output to see if the pings are really
reaching your system or not.
