We use a company called USA Mobility for our pager needs. We send to both a cell phone and to the pager so that we have some redundancy available. USA Mobility costs about the same as a cell phone, but it is unlimited two-way messaging, so we hammer it pretty hard from Nagios with few problems.
This is similar to my plan for the device. I plan to reconfigure it into a DSL router using the two ethernet ports and possibly NFSv3 to pick up some external storage somewhere.
We were hoping that the 10-pin header on the board was possibly a serial port of some kind, but we haven't figured it out yet.
The modem could be used for all sorts of things. I think it would be useful to run mgetty on the serial port for it and when the pppoe software goes wonky (which it sometimes does), this could be used to dial in, get a console, and restart it.
What about a uClinux-based answering machine? run a vgetty on the modem, configure NFSv3 for external storage of messages. Maybe have a cron job on that separate server to send an email when a new message comes in. The possibilities are limitless... now whether those possibilities are possible...
This is the entire point. Mail administrators need to start making their users accountable for that they send. Features like SMTP AUTH and SSL/TLS will start getting the widespread use they should have a long time ago.
If you are sending mail for your job, why not use your employer's mail server? The entire idea behind RMX is to eliminate forgeries, not eliminate spam. Google on the term "joe job" or have a look at this to see what RMX is really for.
The "law" that schools use, at least in the State of Ohio, is called in local parentice. It basically states that when students are in school, whether they are 18 and above or not, the school system has the right to act as each student's "parent" in order to maintain a semblance of order in schools.
Personally, I think that this is good for a school to have and use, especially where there are so many students that a high school full of students spouting off about First Amendment infractions against them would grind a school to a halt. OTOH, it can also allow schools to employ severely draconian measures in a school and turn it into a "military" facility.
It just takes a good balance of both on the part of the administration to keep everything running.

So not only does Google want to archive your desktop, now they also want to read all of your Internet traffic in real-time at the dcecryption point?
It's a brave new world...
