The Multitech Multimodem GPRS model MTCBA-G-EN-F4 has an ethernet
port. Add a SIM card from your favorite wireless carrier and you can
send and receive SMS messages via "AT" commands over a TCP socket.
Problem is, it seizes up or otherwise founders every few weeks and has
to be power cycled.

Has anyone heard of other products with a good reliability record?

Sorry to be late to add to the hate, but the MacOSX drivers for the
USB flavor (MTCBA-G-U-F4) have issues.  Finally got it running on a
standalone Intel mini that we use just for text messages.  :-P
