Would anyone know anything about dialling into a PC modem and sending commands via mobile phone?

Bizzarre i know, but i need to know if there is any way, software hardware whatever, to enable a person to dial into a modem equipped PC plugged into a landline and offer some kind of output to the user. Lets say display a number or message so that as a key on the phone was pressed this would in some way be interpereted onscreen in realtime?

It sounds vague but is something i have been asked to investigate for a proposed business venture.

thanks for the reply guys, the purpose would be so that a phone hidden in a pocket could be used to notify a PC user of an event as it happens. This could be from any location in the world many of which would not have data or wireless internet

its only latency im concerned about needs to be button press and millisecs to reciept i dont see SMS cutting it?

thats the reason i want to be dialled in i mean if you were on the phone and said 'NOW!' that would be pretty low latency, i wanna hijack this to send a yes/no signal where there is no web service.

Thanks for the input zaf, i need a way of prototyping the plan at low cost, but in theory has potential to generate £4k per day from even one user so ultimately bespoke hardware/software possible. Problem is need to know the tech would suffice

Would love to know what your at here!!

Are you trying to use this in a country were internet and mobile comm's might get cut off?

nothing that exciting, just need the edge on events occuring from zones with poor internet. You might not believe it but when you get 2 20/20 cricket teams playing each other in the middle of india, or in the west indies, there are several million people trading tens of millions of pounds based on wickets falling.

More than this they are using SKY tv as a guide. Needless to say that sky TV suffers significant delay on 'live' transmissions, being ahead of the market in events such as these can yeild large sums. But of course you need fastest possible information.
