I haven't tested commercial ESME software myself, but Kannel does a
great job! If you ever feel the need of commercial assistance,
subscribe to commercial[at]kannel[dot]org.

Kannel is a gateway. It is "device independent". If you need any kind
of device identification, you have to do at the next level.

Very few, since you can compile it on almost any *nix machine. Any
reasonable "new" PC will do the job.

Apache will make your people happy.

What do you mean by "commercial"? We all use Kannel not only for the
fun of sending and receiving text messages, but for commercial
purposes. You only need to configure it. The design of the
applications is up to you.
