Helli Mike Newett:
If you want this cheap you can use a DAU-9P cable connect to a Nokia 5110/6110/6150 and use the published AT commands for it of course there are better high end models you can use with a MMS and GPRS feature. I have implemented a cheap solution on my lab here to send out notification signals after a microscope scan is done and also send the JPEG images to email addresses. You have to use the older version of serial libraries to hardcode the fone initialization command like AT+CMGF=1 (text mode),AT+CMGS="number" the message. Look for the website by the European ETSI for exact technical specifications of the GSM commands. Altenatively you can use your windows Modem query for valid AT commands and save the log files to a text file. And by the way
LabVIEW XP7 has many added features in the TCP/IP function pallete for email and HTML handling.
