Have you considered using an SMS gateway provider? We use both Bayham
Systems (www.bayhamsystems.com) and Connection Software
(www.csoft.co.uk - quote offer code PB45 for an introductory discount,
yes it's my affiliate code, feel free to ignore). Both providers can
easily be integrated over HTTP or SMTP using a shell script, perl, etc
and/or via AGI (we use Bayham for MWI notifications to cellphones).
