We use OpenVox G400P cards (PCI; newer motherboards probably will require G400E which is essentially the same card but with PCI Express interface) for our SMS and mobile telephony needs. Just slot in up to 4 SIM cards, and install chan_extra. Incoming text messages trigger an extension in your dialplan with some channel variables set, so you can respond to the message (and also are recorded in a logfile). Outgoing messages can be sent using the Asterisk CLI. In principle, anything that you can call from a dialplan can be initiated by an incoming message, and anything that can execute a system command can initiate an outgoing message. -- AJS Answers come *after* questions. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
