We use kannel on a linux box and a GSM modem, it works very well for us. www.kannel.org Regards, Greg -----Original Message----- From: Dan Hollis [mailto:goemon@anime.net] Sent: 03 August 2004 10:18 To: 'nanog@merit.edu' 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? -Dan Vodafone Group Services Limited Registered Office: Vodafone House, The Connection, Newbury, Berkshire RG14 2FN Registered in England No. 3802001 This e-mail is for the addressee(s) only.
