[hobbit] SMS alerts

[Eric van de Meerakker]

Hi Jason,


I'm working on the same thing. I'm using the SMS Server tools package
(http://www.meinemullemaus.de/), as I've had some experience with it in
combination with Big Brother at a previous employer (I had it running
for a proof-of-concept system at a customer site and was working on
setting this up on the BB system of my employer when I left the company).

For the hardware I'm using a USB GSM modem, model Samba 55 by Falcom
(http://www.falcom.de/index.php?id=199). I needed the USB because the
Hobbit host is a Sun Fire X2100, which has no serial ports whatsoever.
The X2100 runs SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (integrating the Samba USB
modem in SLES9 was definitely non-trivial, but I got it working now ...)

You'll need a SIM card for the GSM modem of course.


Best regards,

Eric.
