[hobbit] Hobbit to IPPhone

[Charles Jones]

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!"  :-)
