Is there any way to access GSM modem from a remote machine

I have an application built in asp.net , csharp which sends SMS alerts by using AT commands on the serial interface of the GSM hardware. So far everything is working fine as the modem is physically plugged to the machine. We are deploying the application on a remote machine on which the GSM can't be plugged physically.

Is there any way to access the GSM modem on the machine placed remotely if i assigned it a live IP ?

Take a look at the com0com project on sourceforge. It provides virtual COM ports and with the sub-project hub4com it even allows you to tunnel COM communication via TCP/IP.

GSM modem does not get ATCommands on IP. You need to access the COM port to send commands to GSM modem. You can Run a windows service/Application/Web service where you will send your message and that will be send to modem through windows service/Application/Web service.

A webservice could be a solution. As you have already Developed an application to work with GSM modem you need to call a web service that may have code to talk to modem or can pass message to your existing application.
