Thanks Peter, Actually I'm the only one leaving the house so the server will be in use for the rest of the family while I'm away. I dont want to forward the SMS to SMS. I want it to send me the SMS in an email. Should be quite straight forward but getting the hardware and compatible software off the ground is tricky.
Anyone else have experience programming for a commercial USB data modem?
