Gnokii is a cell phone tool that can send and receive SMS, if your cell
interface presents a serial port to Linux (my phone for example presents
two).  It takes a little bit of configuration in /etc/gnokiirc but works
okay.

I use the gnokii-smsd daemon to send text messages from other programs
(like Nagios).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
