We use kannel on a linux box and a GSM modem, it works very well for us.

Subject: sms messaging without a net?
Does anyone know of a way to send SMS messages without an internet
connection?
Having a network monitoring system send sms pages via email very quickly
runs into chicken-egg scenario. How do you email a page to let the admins
know their net has gone down. :-P
AT&T shut down their TAP dialup late last year.
The only method that comes to mind is to buy a GSM modem which has SMS
messaging capability.
Has anyone done this?
