Church bell app?

[Dr. Hawkins]

I just about choked over the price:  my church is gearing up to pay $6,500
for a church bell system (and that's because we *already* have the speakers
from the old system).

I'm scratching my head to figure out why this isn't a matter of a near
trivial app on a dedicated ipod and an amplifier.  THe hardest part would
be turning an amplifier on . . .

Does anyone know of such a thing, or an open source project for one?

All it really needs to do is send a signal to turn on an amplifier and play
sound on schedule, be able to choose the sounds to play on the schedules,
and be able to play tunes on command (Eastern Catholic & Orthodox play the
bells during the Anaphora [Consecration]).

Does anyone know about the existence of such a thing, or how much one would
cost to commission?
