Re: [Skunkworks] Linux SMS Gateways
Joe,
One of the issues I have had with kannel especially working with modems (GSM) is libusb. Sometimes the device names can change every time kannel tries to access i..e ttyUSB1 ...10. This is mainly on redhat distros and
This should not be a problem since RHEL4. Use udev to pin a device to a certain hardware. The above problem happen because the name is issued on the order the peripherals came up. Since this is random the naming tend to be unpredictable unless you use udev Muriithi
their cousins. Working with phones has been awesome since the dev name rarely changes and is Mainly the ttyACM0 ....10. This makes it possible to run many instances where both tx and rx is well channeled. But good kabambe phones are also disappearing and the current ones are terrible and a mixed breed of unreliability. So what's next? Android ... Get a cheap android phone and build an SMS app that does one simple thing. Receive and send the text to a flat db or some web service.

Hey Skunks. Currently I have done the GAMMU/KALKUN combi, works like a charm though had to sweat! Reading several views from guys, Kannel is the Heavy weight sms gateway but man I am trying to configure the server, I am having a hard time connecting with a Motorola V3 and Huawei E160. Any tips on that bit? Regards Jeremiah Makh' Sinja The market, like the Lord, helps those who help themselves. But, unlike the Lord, the market does not forgive those who know not what they do
Hi Sinja, I have attached a conf file that you can use for most common gsm devices but its just for a single smsbox. @William, I would really like to know how you achieve this in udev - i.e pin device ... I tried using a script to read dmesg|tail and usblib with device ID but the dev names kept changing on probe esp with new Huawei Modems *_______________________________________________________________We must Keep on, We can't stop here * On Sun, Dec 22, 2013 at 7:09 PM, jeremy sinja <jeysinja@gmail.com> wrote:
