It is much more flexible:

1. You can use them from servers without usb or serial ports, e.g. Small
appliances or blade servers.
2. You can place them anywhere on the network, e.g. If you don't have GSM
connectivity inside your data center
3. More then 1 Nagios server can use the same GSM modem
4. You don't need to install or configure anything hardware related on the
server.

Bye,
Julian
