Sounds worth checking out. I can always connect it directly via a second ethernet port or the like, so being IP should be fine. The main concern is that the machine in question be able to get a message out, even if the switch it is connected to dies. So a little creative networking, and a solution like this should be fine, as long as the SMS commands can be sent from the command line.
