We did just this (although it's not in service right now since
the person writing the scripts left us just before it was
ready to deploy). We used a Siemens M20 GSM terminal, which interfaces
via standard serial port, and a Perl script as the email target.
It worked fine.
I do plan to resurrect this "soon" and will use FreeBSD (the original
platform was Solaris).
