Chris,
Can multiple people use the web interface? So a many to one relationship?
Also, does it have security built in, i.e. can I build firewall rules on the device so that only certain PCs can talk to it?
Thanks, Lelio

I just purchased and began using a SF100-G from MultiTech ( http://www.multitech.com/en_US/PRODUCTS/Families/MultiModemiSMS/ ) in January for SMS texting. It is a small stand alone device that attaches to your network, with a web interface and programming API. We are programming to the API to embed it into our existing systems, but it has a nice web interface that allows for making a address book, groups, etc. It also receives texts just fine if you are looking for two-way communication.
Chris
