(OT - but ALUG appears to include a lot of people with varying skills)
Does anyone know of the machine requirements to handle incoming/outgoing SMS messages? I am guessing a telephone line, modem and basic software to convert incoming SMS calls to text to be stored on the local machine.
I am thinking of a competition like system:
* People are asked to text a number with entry answer * System picks up the number/entry (and stores them in a db)
Competition winner is chosen randomly and informed by outgoing SMS message.
How is this normally done, e.g. radio show comp. entries? Can this be done in Linux?

The way it was done for a company I used to work for was using a vodaphone unit, just plugged into the network and used a radio pager system to send/receive the SMS's
meant that you could send/receive messages on the desktop, was not cheap

Orange used to have a modem which you could dialup and send messages through, a simple expect script woudl suffice here..
I'm not sure if they still have this modem online now.. it's been a while since I played with it ;) try contacting them (or vodaphone/cellnet/one2one)... Sz
