Thanks for the help Davor. Mighty Text uses the users cell phone to send and receive messages as far as I understand it. Are they also making their phone work as a modem on a linux box? Basically the user can't send and receive messages without their cell phone on. The user installs the app on their phone and a web browser plugin on the their computer. How could I duplicate that setup? Are they using something like Kannel or a different setup? Thanks!
