Hi David, I know little about the subject too, but I do know that the latest APC has (for once) got an interesting article - it's a small section devoted to SMS under Linux. Might explain a few things.
Hope it helps, Dave. -----Original Message----- From: David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Mike MacCana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Fri Jan 16 16:24:40 2004 Subject: Re: [SLUG] Email to SMS gateway excuse my ignorance.. i don't know much about SMS, but liked the idea of Email to SMS, so..... I rang optus (I have an optus mobile account) and they told me that this isn't possible. I'm told I can only point and click on a web site.. no command line or email options available. Is your information recent? or does it mean that Optus' help line doesn't know what it's talking about? (shock, horror!) Regards, David.
