         Check out IPSentry (http://www.ipsentry.com/) . It can monitor just about
anything you want and for $99.00 for the basic version, it's an incredible bargain,
particularly as you can specify what queries to make and what to expect or not
expect for responses.  It can page you, send you mail or a bunch of other things.
