Please give me a shout. > With SMS, you have to assist me. I also need it. SMSLink (from SourceForge.NET) is a Linux SMS server that I have been using on FreeBSD for about a year with reasonable results. The product - looks well designed and implemented (to my amature eye) - both sends and receives SMS messages (received messages go to email addresses) - needs a GSM modem (eg Wavecom WM 02) - relies on a Linux library called 'libmodem' - provides a socket interface with a simple ASCII protocol for sending SMS messages. It's easy to construct an email to SMS gateway for example. - supports via libmodem, multiple modems - actively developed and helpful developer. The only downside is that the Linux libmodem library doesn't seem to lock the modem properly under FreeBSD 4.x (4.3-RELEASE at the moment) and this leads to poor performance - ie delivery failure, delivery retry ad nauseum - under heavy SMS load (for delivery, outbound SMS via the modems). There is no package but the library cleanly. Someone may wish to take this on as a port/package. > > > -Wash > > -- > Odhiambo Washington Thank you, Yours sincerely. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft IP Australia Network Specialist +61 2 6283 3189 +61 2 6281 1353 (FAX) Stanley.Hopcroft@IPAustralia.Gov.AU ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Nuclear war would mean abolition of most comforts, and disruption of normal routines, for children and adults alike." -- Willard F.
