Hello Servers,

Software required:

1) Servers alive
2) AutoMate (http://www.networkautomation.com/automate/)
3) MSN IM, free
4) SAPI speech engine, see below

Setup SA to send alert to MSN.
Run MSN on you local PC.
Setup   AutoMate  to  catch text from MSN chat window and speak it via
SAPI speech engine
By  default  you`ll get few SAPI speech engines with M$ office, but to get
really clear human-like voice you can try AT&T Natural Voices™
http://www.nextup.com/nvsamples.html

After  you  complete  everything your PC will tell you with human voice
about problems...

Here is an example how its work for me:

Thats recorded version, original even better.

Probably you can setup voice alerts on any IM, I havnt tested...
You   can  also  make  it  speak  your language (non-engilsh). Do text
search & replace in AutoMate, install non-english SAPI speach engine.

This is not an advertisement!
To get it work with $0 you can try:
1) Use free SA personal version
2) MSN is free
3) Google for free SAPI speech angines
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=free+SAPI+speech
will be poor quality comparing to commercial products.
4) Search  for MSN speech plugins, try Miranda with plugins, anything
that could do text2speech.

You  can also ask Dirk to make able SA speak with SAPI engines. I dont
need it since my SA on the server in data center and i`m far away from
it.
