I beg to have that feature and for it to work on the M6 CA. I beg of you!!! :)
That would be amazingly helpful in my situation. When things are red a while we all start to ignore then. If a specific hosts goes down, something at the utmost importance would deserve a phone call in case the 3am email doesn't make it to the admin :)

Just an update for the folks that are waiting to try this out. I've been pretty busy this week so havn't had as much time as I would like to get the code into a releasable format. Right now all of the parameters are hard coded, so I think I will make it use a config file, which will make it easier both to configure, and for using different configs for different phones.
An amusing note, I am currently testing a feature where under certain user-specified conditions, the IP phone can optionally dial a number on the speakerphone, wait for it to answer, and then play a pre-recorded sound. I seriously LOL'd the first time my phone called my cell and looped "Oh No! a few times :)
After laughing for a bit, I realized this could actually be a helpful feature, if it were triggered in the event that the network was totally down, or the mail server was down (thus no hobbit alerts can be sent). It could also be used as a form of escalation, so that if an alert goes unacked for 60 minutes, it calls up $BOSS and says "Hey your sysadmin is asleep and the office is on fire!" :-)
