The easiest way I found was to use an expect script (TCL plugin) and set it
up to dial the Telstra SMS number (forgotten off hand the number). You use
the expect script to connect to your modem through cu, dial the number and
send the message which we pass in on the command line. The only cost for
this is the local call.
ie ./smssend +61418123456 "Message text"
The expect script handle the connection to you modem, dialling the number
and sending the info at the appropriate times.
Sending to Optus is a bit harder. First you have to pay to get the product
Fleet Page setup. Fleet page uses a certain protocol (TAP or something from
memory). This involves looking at the message length and calculating
checksum values, it s a little tricky and the optus staff aren't any help.
If you are interested in the expect script approach let me know and I will
send it over.
