    From a quick look at that site, it seems like it would be easy to set up a mail server which would parse out the message from an email and form a URL to post the information to the gateway. It just uses CGI POST methods, so shouldn't be hard once you know the URL format.

    You could set up a basic server with the mail server of your choice and a couple of crons and a script or two could handle the parsing and passing information to the gateway.

    You know... it could be done even simpler with a cron'd fetchmail script. That would alleviate the need for a local mail server altogether. Just create mailtopager@eircom.net (or whatever) and send your messages there, where they can be collected by a fetchmail job.
