Since we were talking about the groupware thing, and Googles SMS appointment reminder, I was wondering about implementing it without using Google.
The obvious way is to use viCQ to send messages, but then you are letting possibly confidential details out without knowing it. For example, your wife and children's names (which make many a password), birthdays, business associates, etc. Perhaps you are client number 8? My second choice is the screen scraping sendsms scripts, which I no longer use. I have no idea if they still work. I went to vICQ, but never use it either, I come from an "SMS challenged" enviornment. :-) To me the best choice is via a Bluetooth phone. Then you send your message directly over your cellular phone network which reduces the number of hands in the process and your SP is legally bound to some confidentiality. My wife has a Nokia cell phone with a bluetooth connection to her PC. Using Nokia PC Suite one can use it to send SMSs. Is there a program to do it from Linux? I understand it is not free, but if you are doing this on a company wide basis, you can negotiate cheaper or free SMS service from your cellular phone company. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
