Come on you tool lovers out there. Has anyone heard of the device I described on the subject line? Anything close?

Could have a dying gasp capacitor which allows the unit enough time to send the message before turning off.

Doubtful because that's a lot of work and expense to implement and useless if the router and modem don't have power.

I could see such a feature if the device was designed to work over cell networks since it's not dependent on other user hardware.
