Just wanted to follow up on this, I took Kevin's advice and went with a full ITWatchdog system. It installed in a couple of hours and for 2 grand I have a bunch of temp/humidity/dew point monitors, water on the floor monitor, smoke/fire monitor and door open monitor. It emails calls with voice mail but I could set up sms gateway and text. It also emails and has a full web interface. Multiple triggers so I have emails on minor events and custom voice mails on major events depending upon what is going wrong.
I had one question during install and tech support responded to my email in under an hour with the info I needed. And that would have been unneeded if I had rtfm better. Ship time was very fast and they communicated status without being asked several times during that process. Thanks Kevin, much appreciated.

Nothing fancy a simple standalone system that monitors power and temp and humidity that sends texts. But here is the rub, we think it should use its own built in 'cell phone' rather than rely on the network that might be down. The ones we are finding use an internet send, that seems dangerous. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
