I actually implemented a similar system, although it's not SMS specific. Basically, I have a central system in Apache/mod_perl. The eventual design is for full I/O in many protocols, including HTTP, SMTP, FTP and a handful of other protocols. So far the output is pretty much ready, and I think I'm going to wait for Apache 2 before I do the inputs. I _could_ write mod_perl handlers to understand other protocols, but Apache 2 is being designed around this, as far as I understand, so I'm going to do that around Apache 2 (as soon as I get off my ass and learn the new API :-)) Issac
