And:

6. can there be a version that can be started "silence forever"ed
and without any X interface requirements? (like at boot time, I wouldn't 
want ours to beep, it sends email to people anyway, and I'd like to
be able to start it remotely as well)

(Assuming after Garrett's question that the person handling the
Alarm Handler may not be Janet Anderson anymore?)
