Fedora and gammu

[Weiner, Michael]

Good morning, fellow Fedora users. I love it when products work as
advertised, and I have been happily monitoring our enterprise network
using Nagios with little requirements as of late for help, but recently
I began investigating 2-way alerting via SMS using the following as a
guide:

 

http://matt.bottrell.com.au/archives/170-Nagios-2-way-alerting-via-SMS-P
art-1.html (and the other 2 pages)

 

I can follow the Nagios changes pretty easily, and the mysql setup
easily, and even have gammu/wammu installed. However, the biggest pain
in the entire process is finding a cellular phone (low-tech phone) that
can do SMS that will work with my current setup. We are running two
Nagios servers, master and slave, and the master server which is where I
am setting up the gammu stuff is currently running Fedora 6 with Nagios
2.12 (I realize this is an out-of-date- setup but it is extremely stable
and not broken, LOL). We are somewhat stuck using phones that are
provided by our carrier, Verizon, which after having sent them the
aforementioned webpages for their review, sent us two phones for demo
testing.

 

LG Fathom (DLC200) - which is way more than we need

Samsung Convoy - fairly low tech phone

 

For some reason, the only one that the OS seems to see is the Samsung,
and using 'dmesg' I can see that the cdc-acm kernel module sees and sets
up the ttyACM0 device when the phone is plugged in via USB, however
gammu has very limited sight into the phone. So I am not sure if I am
chasing an OLD OS that will never work, and OLD version of gammu that is
hard to update based on the dependencies it has, or the phone itself not
being supported.

 

My first questions would be, has anyone set this up? And if so, what
exactly did you do? And what hardware/software combination are you
using? And what phone and carrier are you using to get it to work?
There are SaaS services out there that can provide SMS for me, but they
are all pay as you go, and I would prefer to do this without any huge
investment - we are already going to have to pay the monthly cell
charges.

 

Any suggestions/insights would be greatly appreciated
