do this and do you have any hints or recommendations for technologies or
providers? I'd only want to send a dozen or so a month, so I'm hardly a

There are loads of gateways for this. I've used http://sms2email.com (AQL) in
the past without problems, just setting up an e-mail forward on their site
(something(a)sms2email.com) then sending messages to that. The subject line
and message body are included in the SMS, so it's easy to work with. Like
most providers, they have APIs if you want something more.
