The trick there was that all I needed to do was open pipe to it and send the telephone number a delimiter and the message and the rest would be handled by this device. Though I think that this was a serious industrial size thing (no idea how it was setup as I never got anywhere near the device it self I just had a short sample program to go on. This device was able to send hundreds of messages a minute and something tells me that that is not a normal thing to do for a standard phone.
Right now my company makes use of some Exchange ?function/plugin? that lets you send an email to a telephone number which will translate the first 160 or so characters and send them out as a text message. To be on the safe side if this is for a serious application like monitoring a network or something along those lines talk to who ever aranges your telecomunications and ask them to advise you on a good system that you can programaticaly talk with, anything else will get you in trouble sooner or later.
