We have no cell service in our data center.  We use an external modem
on our hobbit server and use the dialup method for SMS.  sendpage
works great.  One of the team found another tool that he is testing as
well. Need to figure out what he's found.

Hi,

why don't you use a GSM modem connected directly to your Hobbit server?
Then you can use a software SMS-Gateway like kannel and send out your
critical alerts via SMS.

We use this on our Hobbit servers at different sites and it's working
really great.
