Does anybody know a way to programmatically send SMS messages over the Internet?

I've got a setup where I get chat messages on my work computer, and I need to be able to forward them to my phone. This normally easy task is complicated by the fact that the work machine is on a VPN network, and doesn't have direct access to the Internet. I need two-way communication for this to be worthwhile. Any ideas about how to make this work?

That I don't have a clue on. I'd probably write something with perl, Net::AIM, and Net::Jabber. There's probably some windows-ish way to do this with VB.Net to control a client window or something.

Ok. Thank you for the idea of using AIM. It may be just the quick-and-dirty solution I was looking for!
