Siemens M20 is a GSM modem and as you pointed out, you use it through AT commands or (if you want to avoid the low level mess) an intermidary API like jSMS. I just started playing around with James and am not really competent to say whether this should/will be supported or not, but IMHO this kind of interface doesn't fit into the James picture due to the following reasons: - AT commands are not standardized. Most of the commands can be used on all modems, but each modem has some specific commands. I don't think an open source product would be capable of providing support for all/most of the modems available on the market. - I see James as a server component capable of processing large amounts of traffic. GSM modems, which are today mainly used for SMS, can send/receive one message in 5-10 seconds. However, I think SMS capability (email-SMS gataway?) would be a very usefull fetaure in James, but I would see this implemented through SMPP as someone already pointed out. There are two open source projects going on in this field: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smppsim/ http://opensmpp.logica.com/ I hope this throws a little more light on the issue... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
