Another option is available to you John-Paul, specifically, http://www.kannel.org which is a wap and sms gateway.
This gateway is based on linux although you can use cygwin to compile and run it, far from ideal but it does work
and is usable enough for testing. The gateway does support most GSM modems and supports other major protocols like
SMPP, CIMD... for connecting to telcos. Once you set it up you can send sms through it's http interface. So from your servlet or business logic class, just
make a http call to the gateway with the correct parameters and your sms will be sent of.


A library like commons http-client  will be quite useful in this case.
FYI : kannel is open source.

we have an affilliate company that has a product comming on the market that
uses a Nokia 30 or Nokia 31 GSM modem(phone without a headset and with a rs232
port) and does exactly that.  we have a client server version comming out - i
will ask how its done - can't be too difficult as the app is mostly a vb
piece.  as long as i am not going to give away anything to proprietary i'll
share it - why do you want to use a serial conection - do you need to receive
sms msgs as well as send?  cause if all you need to do is send, why don't you
just dispatch it as an email?

Hello List... this is a tricky one I believe,

Serial port-connected mobile phone - I'd like to find out how to send sms messages using tomcat on linux. Anyone got any leads?

I'd appreciate any help.

thanks,
