Stef,

I have no doubt that Asterisk can do this (festival or recording for voices,
any number of things for SMS/email).  The trick will be to learn and
impliment it!

Hi,

We are currently using autodialer software that is capable of sending SMS
and
calling (with prerecorded messages) if there is an alarm.  When the first
person is not responding within 1 minute, a new SMS is send.  After 3
times,
the next person is tried.  And so on.
An alarm can be acknowledged by SMS or calling to a special number and
entering a code.

The problem is that this setup is not flexible.  The only way to configure
this software (running on windows) is logging in to the box.  The only way
to
send an alarm is via a snmp trap.

So I want to replace this box to a more setup-friendly (if possible open
source) solution.
A google search was not very helpfull, so do you hobbiters have an idea
for
software that I can use?
