Hi Rory, We have used intensively USB 3G Huawei E220 modems. >From memory I think that the best throughput had been 1 SMS every 3 seconds. As advised by Alvaro, you can set up several modems to get a greater throughput.
Besides, note that under RHEL, you will need some manual works with kernel modules to have the modem recognized by RHEL and the device node created as /dev/ttyUSBX. Or have a look and give a try to http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?t=295 >From Fedora 10, it works fine.
