More to the point, is there SMS server software that can be run from a linux
box: I'm thinking software dials a modem which dials my mobile and passes
SMS messages to me - surely this type of thing should be around? How does
SMS work anyway? Is it a store and forward system from your operator? Can
I decide who my operator is? 10p per message seems extreme for a few
bytes - what are my options?
