1. A system for notification, comprising:
- at least one signal receiver;
a telephone line status interface, said telephone line status interface activated in response to a signal received by said at least one signal receiver and said telephone line status interface assessing at least one telephone line;
a data storage module;
command execution circuitry, said command execution circuitry commanding at least one signal generator in response to assessment data from said telephone line status interface;
at least one signal generator, said at least one signal generator initiating at least one signal in response to a command from said command execution circuitry;
at least one call initiator, said at least one call initiator receiving data from said data storage module and initiating at least one telephone transmission in response thereto; and
at least one data transmitter, said at least one data transmitter engaging in the transmission of data upon connection completion.
