I had exactly the same problem with a 5110.  I solved it by using the
Gnokii::GSM perl modules to connect once to the phone and poll the phone
every 2 seconds for new messages.  One caveat is that the version of
Gnokii::GSM that I use only compiles under gnokii-3.3.0.

The previous system used a shell script to call gnokii via the command line
but this caused the phone to turn itself off after 3-5 days.
