GSM modem test point with data and SMS support

The SAMBA modems are USB powered and can respond to normal AT commands for things like signal strength and so forth. Using the sms-tools kit, you can also send/receive SMS messages. The SAMBA modem I have supports EDGE.

Subject: GSM modem test point with data and SMS support

We have some interest in testing the real-world connectivity of several
cellular towers using a GSM modem that has both a IP address on the WWAN and
has SMS support.  Is anyone aware of a self-contained box that supports both
technologies?  EDGE support is preferred, but GPRS would be acceptable.
