Generally you attach the serial SMS modem to the machine that is doing the system monitoring.. So even if an internal switch goes down, you still get the page.... With the monitoring service and the modem being on the same machine and all.... I would hate to be using your network VeNoMouS if you are going to soly rely on a Web based SMS delivery services, in a completely different country Nice DR solution you have....

Well you got bigger issues if your net is down then sending out an sms don’t you think? ,besides what if one of the internal switches or routers died and you couldn’t get to the serial sms it’s the exact same situation the fact is your still paying a lot more for the same service.
But hay try drill some more holes in the leaky boat eh..

You realise the purpose of the device is to notify them if services go down, right? How are you going to use your remote service when there's no net access? 'lol :):):)' indeed.

We've just been down this track at work.
Until now we have been using the X.25 network to send out SMS alerts, but yesterday we received a nice little cellphone black box with a serial interface, you can use it to send and receive SMS messages and you talk to it using modem AT type commands.
It's looking like a pretty good, and cheaper solution, and it will allow us to do more.
I can't remember the brand/model off the top of my head, but I can look on Monday if people want to know. From memory the unit costs $700 to buy and then there is just the standard cost of sending SMS messages.
