Buy a cheap nokia GSM phone, a suitable data cable and use gnokii to connect it to a Linux box as an "SMS server". Or pay me to do it for you - I actually wrote a system that uses it to search through a list of possible people to handle a problem via SMS, ICQ and Microsoft SMB sends... :-) http://gnokii.org/ btw, if you choose a Cellcom connected GSM phone, make sure to grab the CVS version and not stable, because my one liner patch to add their get their "new" GSM network supported just got in ;-)) BTW, Cheers, Gilad -- Gilad Ben-Yossef <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Codefidence.
