I think your comments are still valid - sending SMS directly from your
Hobbit server would work even if your building services were completely cut
off, provided the machine had at least a couple of minutes runtime on a UPS.

I'm thinking about rolling my own home alarm system, and if I can work it
into the budget for it I may include one of these bad boys:

I can add another phone to my family plan for $10/mo and not have to rely on
the phone/DSL to get alerts out.
