[Xymon] State of the art SMS alerting?

[John Thurston]

Can anyone shed light on the current 'state of the art' for alerting by 
SMS from Xymon? Are there recommended usb-modem/software combinations to 
achieve this?

I'd like to have the option of sending alerts from my Xymon server 
without relying on email->SMS gateways. (When I need to announce that 
the mail queue has reached critical, it seems foolish to try to dispatch 
that alert by mail.)

I'm running Xymon on Solaris which will ultimately limit my options, but 
I'm interested in any information you have to share.
