    Hey guys, I am writing a windows c# services that monitors servers and determines if the server is up or down based on whether or not it checks in. If one of the servers doesn't check in, the service needs to place a call to the tech on duty. What would I need to use to make a call in c#? Thanks in advance, Travis

      You can use TAPI.

      All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia How to use google | Ask smart questions

        You could buy a gprs wavecom modem. Wavecom Fastrack Supreme StarterKit[^] Stick yourself a mobile SIM card in it, and then send out SMS messages to whoever the tech guy on call. Then it would just be a case of using: "System.IO.Ports.SerialPort" to write the sms command to it. Failing that you could just buy this activesms toolkit: http://www.activexperts.com/activsms/[^]. The instruction on how to send a sms message using c# look easy enough. http://www.activexperts.com/xmstoolkit/howto/mm1/vcnet/[^] This will allow you to send/recieve sms messages to your wavecom, so you could get your tech guy to reply to the sms message to acknowledge he has recieved it.

          If the tech uses a cell phone and the server has internet access, you can just send an sms message or email. If that's the case, then check out the API's that the service provider has.
