First, if you are able to have Skype/Pidgin, there are maybe solutions for having Ninja too.
The tcp port 80 seems to be open from your work pc to the worls, so something with OpenVPN and tunnelling, or an headless Virtualbox with an NT running in it.
But it's maybe a bit tricky for you, so back to simple things.
An indicator or a strategy is able to send mail, see this; then the best idea is to have a Gmail account, with Pidgin activated on the same account, which tell you when a new mail has arrived.
The good thing with Gmail and Google Calendar, is that you can receive free SMS (but unfortunatly not 200 per hour).
I use this, but it's not perfect (a strat write in a file, the file is read by a shell script, the shell launch a PHP script which send the SMS...).
The clean way is to use the C# Google API, but didn't take the time to do this.
The idea is to plan an event in your Google Calendar, and then activate the SMS notificaton (Settings->Mobile Setup).
Their is a lot of webpages about this process, just google it.
I've wrote something today: a SMS is sent when an order (automated) is sent, and it seems to work (10 sms in an hour, 90/120 seconds delay), but I need some time for testing/cleaning.
It's based on the Google Calendar API, so the SMS is free.
Well, yes, and I'll need some beta-tester. It seems that there is a sort of "SMS quota" from Google, I've stop received them after my morning tests (about 40 SMS is two hours, it's maybe too much).
I'll need beta-testers and new ideas.
Few things still not very clear, I'll post something in the programming section, the real pros may have answers .
