Alert via SMS

[Leif J.]

I can only agree. Use a GSM modem and think of what services you put SMS 
notification on. I use primarily SMS on Gateways/Routers and Services 
that are categorized at Priority  services for example a electronic 
access control system at doors, Air-condition down at the Server room 
and so on.

I know in Denmark we can get GSM Modems that are made for purely sending 
SMS.

Mvh.
Leif
