Use TAP (telocator access protocol) your monitoring application dials a
modem pool logs on and sends a text message to the subscriber.

Verizon, Cingular, Nextel all offer this service as does Skytel and most
of the paging vendors.

Having a network monitoring system send sms pages via email very quickly
runs into chicken-egg scenario. How do you email a page to let the admins
know their net has gone down. :-P

GNOKII and a suitable nokia phone.
