send text messages through modem

It is better to ask your cell phone company about the email address but for Cingular cell phones that can receive text messages, the address is: 1234567890@cingularme.com where the numbers are your phone number (area code and number). This is for US phones.

Note: my recommendation is for email to your cell phone. If your computer has no LAN card and is not on a network, then I doubt there is any text interface available without special software. If your HP-UX system is on a network, then you can configure your sendmail to forward to your email server which in turn can foward the messages to Cingular.

Thank Bill,
You are right. I have one very isolated Center with only analog phone line to communicate with outside world. Everyone in my group has a Black Berry which is cable to receive email, voice messages and SMS messages. So, I try to send the SMS to the BB instead of "numerical messages" to the pager.

Thank you all of you. It works by using Kermit VIA paging services provider.

I must make a comment on using the internet to as a medium for sending pages. Please keep in mind that those messages are at the mercy of internet traffic and could take a long time to actually be delivered. I once had a server down page take over 4 hours to be delivered. so just be advised and aware.
