Black and Decker makes an autodialer now that hooks into their home security
system.  I've seen them at several hardware stores.  The dialer is inexpensive
(<$99), but doesn't do too much.

I think that it calls a special response center (that you subscribe to for
about $25/month) and sends the computer there some pertinent info.  That's
what I gleaned from a quick look at the box.  Perhaps it can do more.
