Alert based Phone Calling Software for Windows

[NaiMan]

Hello Anandtech community. I was wondering if you guys know of any software that can call a phone once an event is triggered. Say a computer on the network is rebooted or crashed.

We have something that sends out texts messages when that happens, now looking for an actual phone call.

Any suggestions???

sorry if i'm unclear.

Thanks!

What software/service do you use for this? Does it have the option of calling a program OR command line instruction? If so, you could monkey around and set it up with a VOIP client.

We have that sortof thing running at work

This is the monitoring software
http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/

Then we have a usb gsm module that sends sms when a red alert is triggered. (still not up and running, since our monitoring server is running in vmware and has to be moved to a phycial box fot the usb module to work)

I'm not sure what we're using now. I'll have to check at work tomorrow. My boss made a deal with me. If I can find a software that can notify via phone call, during the nights, then I can go back to the day shift and get off graveyard hours.

This is why I'm searching for one.

Wow, that's a good deal.
