I have looked briefly at gammu, but have not idea how it works or if its the best way to go.  I also take it that I need to buy a GSM modem?  Does anyone have any experience/advice in this are that they could share?  

This is made harder without internet access. If you had internet access
then you could just run an SMPP application that would communicate with
a carrier's SMPP server which would allow you to send SMS messages to
mobiles. Taking a quick look through the packages on my debian box if
you don't have internet access it does appear you'll need a phone, most
likely a GSM phone, as most of the software references SMS specifically
Nokia phones. The package I'm referencing is gnokii-smsd.

Good luck,
Jason

Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war;
no nation has ever borrowed largely for education.  Probably,
no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization.
We must make our choice; we cannot have both.

Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.
