CentOS - Aug 2013 - 5.9, GNOKII, SMS and Huawei [ E160G | E176 ]

Hi

I want to setup a SMS system for Nagios on a 5.9 box.

I read in a blog that the two modems Huawei [ E160G | E176 ] work with 6.3.

Anybody any experience with those modems and do they work with 5.9?

Are there any other devices that are better/recommended?


Thanks
Jobst

Can't help you with these modems but... did you check the email2sms gateway
providers?
Are they a lot more expensive than an extra telephone subscription?
Unless you want it to work even without net on the nagios server of course...
