Don’t know if it’s any use to you – but I use a standard modem (on our

The software is called “SMS_CLIENT”; I don’t have a download link to hand
but I think I still have the tar-ball.
OMG, that's a blast from the past! Last updated more than a decade ago - I
thought the source code would have been lost, but found it at:

I moved on from dial-up modems a looooong time go, replacing with Gnokii
and GSM/3G mobile phones. These have the advantage that they don't require
the POTS to be working, which might be a problem if a PBX circuit fails.
Also, a 3G phone is probably cheaper than a USB modem.
