Thanks. Email would be out because it would depend on the web gateway. I'll look at the standalone segment idea. it would be messy in terms of rack space and cabling but it's a possibility worth looking at.

What about e-mailing the alerts so something like 4085551212@messaging.sprintpcs.com or what ever your carrier uses for a mail gateway address. You can also get an SMS feed dropped off over DS1 then install your own end router and terminate that to your server on it's own segment. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Darragh.OHeiligh@Oireachtas.ie> To: "Blind sysadmins list" <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Thursday, August 06, 2009 5:13 AM Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] SMS alerts via What's up gold. Hello again, Do any of you have experience with configuring a system so that What's up gold can send alerts via SMS? This was done here about a year ago however as What's up gold 12.5 does not have built in functionality for SMS alerts a third party and very baddly documented and support add on was used. This system didn't last long before it failed due to problems with the add on. I've been asked to look at a new system. The What's up gold server is currently living virtually on an ESX server. The current version of ESX we are using does not support USB connectivity. The modem that we have here is some strange make. It's connectivity is USB based however it shows up in windows as a serial device. therefore, the standard USB to IP software will not work with it. I'm therefore on the hunt for something that is compatible with ESX however Ethernet may not be the best solution as the idea would be to make this non-dependent on the inferstructure so that it can provide alerts if the core goes down. That's unlikely but it's a requirement. Any ideas?
