You just really write a script that sends the command:
$bbcmd $BBDISPLAY ack $number $ackTimePeriod $ackMessage
After taking an incoming message and discerning an incoming email
I use perl + postfix + Email::Filter perl module for mine, it's fairly straightforward -

Oops, sorry.

Acknowledging an alert, not alerting people.
I have not seen docs myself, but I have done this for Big Brother... I imagine the process could be similar. Trouble is, BB comes with an Ack page for WAP -- Xymon appears not to.
Anyways, for BB, the script was called bb-mailack.sh and the way it worked was via procmail.

Via phone you'll need to use SCRIPT and I would imagine Asterisk being the best solution.
Personally I have Xymon email an SMS gateway provided by my carrier (AT&T) and it shows up as a text message to me.
