For what it's worth, I saw an ad in SysAdmin Magazine[0] a while back
for an SMS service targeted at sysadmins. Don't remember any details
though, and I can't seem to find it either... But keep looking, it's
out there.
  As for syslog-ng, you'd just need a small wrapper program and the
pipe directive.
