Notifications via CDMA

[Douglas K. Rand]

I'm a Verizon customer in North Dakota (United States) and the only
cell network available to us is CDMA. (Just in the last 6 months did
we get EVDO.)

Right now we use a modem and dial in to the IXO/TAP number for
Verizon. This works, but I'm concerned about how long Verizon will
maintain a IXO/TAP terminal. (And as a minor point, messages sent via
the IXO/TAP terminal are counted as out of network messages by
Verizon.) 

I've been looking around for a way of delivering notifications
directly via a wireless modem. If we had GSM service it seems that
this is a very easy thing: get smstools3 and one of any of a number of
GSM modems.

I was wondering if anybody had suggestions for accomplishing this with
Verizon and their CDMA network. I've found the MultiTech CDMA
MultiModem (MTCBA-C-N3-NAM) but no software to drive it. (We run
Nagios on FreeBSD.) And from what I can tell you can't send messages
on a CDMA network anywhere as easily as you can with GSM.
