I'm the maintainer of the gnokii FreeBSD port and a system administrator.

Hi, I don't know about wacom GSM modems. We have a digicom one at work, 
which works flawlessly on the  FreeBSD machine I installed Nagios on.

My suggestion is to take a serial one. In this way you are sure it will 
work with any OS, and you will be able to command it using any 
software...gnokii but also others.

Avoid USB ones. Some may work and be identified as USB serial devices. 
But some will be seen as ugen or other devices and require special 
drivers not provided for any OS except windows.

Hope this helps.
