Maybe not on this trip :) but eventually you could get something working with XMPP/Jabber. http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/jabber Related are Jingle/Telepathy etc. which are integrated messaging projects ... e.g.. "VoIP" with IM - the IM bit playing a "presence" sort of role: http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/ Presentation by Rob McQueen here: http://lca2007.linux.org.au/talk/301 There's an asterisk-jabber "channel" project or branch in digium's svn but I'm not sure how far along it is or whether there are plans to really integrate XMPP into Asterisk. Would be cool though. http://svn.digium.com/view/asterisk/team/mogorman/asterisk-jabber/channels/ We checked around a while back and found there's even dedicated hardware out there for this sort of stuff (voice-blue??). I think SER comes with some kind of "enterprise grade" SIP/SMS gateway, butI'm not sure how widely it is used or who the target user base is for it. At least one commercial XMPP offering has a "plugin" for asterisk - e.g. Jive: http://www.jivesoftware.org/asterisk-im/ Anyway, hope that ramble was possibly useful for future reference. cheers,
