/dev/eth doesn't sound like a modem device. You need to have an analog modem attached to your computer for sms_client to use to connect to the POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) network. A DSL modem != analog modem. As you can see above, it's trying to dial a phone number, not connect to an IP address. A DSL modem is not sufficient and doesn't provide connectivity to the POTS network. As far as alternatives if you can't connect an analog modem to the computer you might see if your provider has a mail->sms gateway. It's not as reliable in the event of a network failure of course... -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
