OT: Cell phone connection to server

[aragonx at dcsnow.com]

Hello all,

It has been suggested to me that we should setup a cell phone in a way
that would allow us remote access to our Linux boxes in case of an
emergency where the server was down (using a remote service board (ILO)).

I've searched Google and found plenty of information on how to make an
outbound connection, but nothing for inbound.  The mobile broadband
connections all give you a dynamic IP and are on-demand.  So the
connection would drop as soon as it was not being used.  I thought that I
could write a script to keep the connection alive and pass the IP but if
the server goes down...

It was said that years ago, you could connect a modem to a cell phone and
that it would answer the call just like on a land line.  If I could find
something like that, we would be in business.

As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.
