Hi Will,
I read the wikipedia page and the application I'm building could be
accurately described as a SMS Gateway. It will have an ethernet
connection, web interface/application, and internal applications to
handle sent & received messages. I can accomplish this with a USB cell
phone modem and a Linux box. (But not if the stupid* Novatel USB modem
has no AT commands for sending & receiving SMS messages.)
We aren't going to trunk into any telcos with SS7.
Jim
*I'll retract the "stupid" characterization in the event someone from
Novatel gets back to me with some helpful AT commands. Their web site
is spectacularly unhelpful with regards to this.
