I can use the tar file, but I was hoping to find it in a repo somewhere
to make it easier to keep up with any updates.

I'm sending to a pager.  This system monitors my network and let's me
know if there are any problems.  I'm using a pager because I want to
hear about it if my Internet connection goes down.  I couldn't find any
way to send a text message to a cell phone without relying on the
Internet connection.
