Hi Rene, Thanks so much for your response... I've been reading through the documentation all day. I'm looking forward to installing the program. I'm currently searching for a GSM modem I can connect to an Ubuntu box, to run the programs on..
Just a quick follow up question, if I may.. Is it possible for a user, to send a SMS (Or would it be MMS, in this case) with a picture attached, back to me? In my reading, it looks like this is usually a binary 8 attachment? But that's just guessing until I make a little more progress in the documentation.
