What I was planning to do:

I have VoIP for telephony at home and asterisk running on my server. A
script on the server checks my email. If it finds new mail it calls the
FR. The FR does not accept the connection, instead it connects to the
internet and gets the email. It does not cost anything as no phone
connection is established. And I have immediate notification on new
mail.
