Your best bet is to also attach a modem to your system and let it dial =
out to the gateways.=20

This site provides a central spot for TAP gateway numbers and SNPP =
systems. Use your Nagios parent configuration to send snpp when the =
Internet is working and fall back to TAP modem pages when your system =
can no longer reach the net.

It's the only modem I still have in use but it works great every time =
for sending out those text messages and pagers.=20
