Hi Gareth, Thanks for the info ... just to clarify, I can obtain a GSM modem, connect it to my gnu/linux box, insert a valid Australian mini-SIM card and use that system as a 'mobile phone' for send/receive SMS and as a Kannel Server?
Yes you can. You might well find it cheaper to use a provider to do this for you.
BTW, it is really cool to see that you are so heavily involved with the Apache Project ... excellent piece of FOSS.
Thanks. Anyone who wants to come and contribute to the xerces project please do :) I think its about time apache had some mobile based projects, so anyone with any ideas please give me a shout.
