Hi Manuel, thanks for that tip. Unfortunately, it's not something that
I'll be able to use. This is something I'll be running on remote
machines, that most certainly don't have a cell attached to them. 
In a nutshell, the problem is this: My boss is too cheap to provide a
pager server, and my cell phone service provider cannot offer me the
possibility of accepting e-mail on my cell. Basically, all I want to do
is be notified on my cell by any of my servers, should certain
conditions arise. Since I can't send an e-mail to my phone, I'd like to
send and SMS. And I need to be able to script the action, ergo
command-line.
