Sounds like a nice application for an HP Thin Client, AstLinux and an FXS ATA
Even simpler would be an ATA and a VOIP service, though I don't think much of 
SIP exposed to the Internet. I suppose since this will only be placing calls 
from the ATA though.
I can't seem to find a VOIP provider that's pay-per-call (what I want) vs 
pay-per-month (what I don't want).  At least I don't want to pay more than a 
few bucks/month for how little I'll use it.
voip.ms is a prepaid service with a very low monthly fee for their value 
service. $12-$24 per year plus minutes depending on the rate center. I assume 
US.
Certainly a better deal than Magicjack.
OOMA is more up front, and I believe they now have some monthly fee?
Also, do you not ever go to this location and want phone service during that 
time?
But I think I just came up with my solution.  A cheap ~$60 temperature monitor 
that uses standard phone service, coupled with Magic Jack.  The Magic Jack Plus 
is $70 up-front and $30/year; not bad.  I'll look some more for other options 
first.

What would you do IF there is an alert?Do you have someone who could respond 
that is nearby and is able to fix whatever is wrong?
Yes; I have a winter care-taker who happens to live next-door.
