Surprised no one has mentioned the Multimodem iSMS: http://www.multitech.com/brands/multimodem-isms
Been using it for 5+ years -- first three years the code wasn't stable, needing a reboot every few months, but the latest code has been stable for 2+ years.
It looked interesting until I got to the part where it says it uses a 2G GSM modem. AT&T has said quite firmly that they will turn off their 2G network in 2017, and press reports say that T-Mobile is already turning off 2G in favor of LTE. What do you plan to do instead next year?
