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.

Hi all,
Anyone had any success with sending out SMS alerts from hobbit? If so
could you let me know what methods you used and whether we need to
purchase any software to do this? Reverse charge is acceptable
Thanks,
Jason.
