Requirements
This NSM 5.x/6.0 SMS messaging method requires a normal Hayes-compatible modem connected
to the server on which the GFI Network Monitor Engine is running. When a check fails, GFI
Network Server Monitor uses the modem to dial in to the SMSC provider and deliver the actual
SMS message(s); most countries have one or more SMSC service providers.
