a UMTS/3G card, that just attaches a usb controller (ohci) and a 
usb-serial converter behind it (ubsa), and a "modem" behind that takes 
AT commands. the commands are even somewhat standardized. Add a bit of 
kermit and shell scripting around and you have a very reliable 
out-of-band notification mechanism.
