I have a few hundred VIP clients (yes, some are more VIP than others)
who I'd like to notify, via SMS, whenever we have any network problem
and also immediately such a
problem is resolved.

What I'm looking for is some software that I can use to do this,
within FreeBSD. I hope one of the experts in this area has done
one so I don't have to wait for the invention.
`make search key=sms` from within the ports did give some apps,
but I did not see one that is capable of looking at a database
of contact numbers and sending that one sms to all of them.
Of course I do expect a reply/delivery report after sending the sms.

Any good pointers will be appreciated.
