Re: Can I send a message from the iSeries to a cell phone?

All you need is a modem and a little code; assuming your cell phone
provider supports TAP, most did and probably still do. Verizon for
example:

Protocol: Standard TAP
Toll-Free TAP Access Number: 1-866-823-0501
Baud Rate Range: 300-19,200 bps
Data Settings: 7 data bits, even parity 1 stop bit
Message Length: 160 characters
Wait to Connect: 60 seconds or longer

You could probably adapt some open-source code to the system i.

Honestly however, I'd prefer to simply bur some monitoring software
that had the capability built in.

Bytware's Messager Plus comes to mind. I've used that myself.
Help/Systems has a similar offering under their ROBOT brand.

from the System i, but don't know of one. There's probably something
for purchase somewhere.
