[sendpage-devel] in default branch: SMS support

[Kees C. <sen...@ou...>]

While at LWE this week, I spent some time to add beta SMS support to the 
Sendpage devel branch.  Many thanks go to Brian Murray who proved that 
it could work.  :)  I'd like to move to using Device::Gsm instead of 
doing it by hand currently.  :)

It will appear in the 1.1.1 release, but I want to test it a bit more 
before I package it.  Anyone interested in it can get it out of CVS for 
the moment.

We've reproduced two physical configurations:

- GSM PCMCIA card   (required an init of "AT+CFUN=1")
- Bluetooth phone (motorola RAZR - required an init of "AT+CMGF=1")

For the PCMCIA card, the serial port is just a "regular" ttyS* device.  
For the bluetooth, I had to build an "rf serial channel" under Linux 
with:

# verify bluetooth is running
hciconfig
# look for our phone's ID
hcitool scan
# bind a serial channel
rfcomm bind 0 $ID

which results in /dev/rfcomm0 existing.  Device::SerialPort seems to 
have intermitant issues using it, but I suspect the Linux rfcomm driver, 
or maybe some of the extra magic I see Device::Gsm doing.

My Modem, Paging Central, and Recip config looks like this:

[modem:razr]
debug=true
dev=/dev/rfcomm0
init=AT+CMGF=1
dial=
carrier-detect=off

[pc:sms]
debug=true
proto=SMS
modems=razr

[recip:kees]
dest = my_phone_number_here@sms
