Precisely what you need to do depends on who your phone company is. It is frequently done by sending e-mail to an SMS gateway. There are various ports designed to enable scripting of sending SMS-es to particular providers -- see comms/p5-SMS-Send-* If you have a GSM modem or mobile, there are about 4 or 5 ports you could choose from. Just do a 'make search name=3Dsms' in /usr/ports. No idea about leaving a voice message -- doing voice synthesis is pretty well covered, but making a computer dial a phone and speak into it? =09Cheers, =09Matthew - --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard =20 Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matthew@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW ------------ Hi all, I use gsmsmsd from ports and a wavecom GSM modem on a=20 serial port for my "embedded monitor" systems... It works very well, with a bit of SNMP / .sh / awk scripting. It can also work with a number of mobile phones that have a serial link. Typical send / receive rate is 1 message / 7 seconds due to cell negotiation for each message being sent. Or I go "full power" on main servers and use kannel from ports and a=20 Telco SMPP service. Send / receive rates are 30 messages / second Murray Taylor Bytecraft Systems Special Projects Engineer P: +61 3 8710 0600 D: +61 3 9238 4275 F: +61 3 9238 4140 -- =20|_|0|_| "Absence of evidence =20|_|_|0| is not evidence of absence" =20|0|0|0| Carl Sagan --------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted in this e-mail is for the exclusive use of the intended addressee and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
