is a client/server software package that enables you to send messages
to an alphanumeric pager. The client accepts a message from the user
and forwards it to a server using SNPP. The server uses a modem to
transmit the message to the recipient's paging service using the TAP
protocol (also known as the IXO protocol).

converts a (MIME) mail to a short message, allowing search/replace,
conditional rules, date/time dependent actions, customizing the
output format, etc. The output defaults to 160 characters, which is
perfectly suitable for sending the text to a GSM telephone as an
SMS message. This software does not include any code for actually
sending the text to anything else but another program or stdout.

is a filter written in Perl which converts an e-mail into a form
suitable for sending as an SMS message. Its main advantage over
the alternatives is that it uses the CPAN module
<EM
>Lingua::EN::Squeeze</EM
> to compress the text
down to as little as 40% of its original size, so you can
get much more of your e-mail into the 160 character limit imposed
by SMS. It is fully MIME compatible, and has many configurable
options, including removal of quoted text. Ideal for use with
procmail. A Perl script for sending the output to a typical
e-mail to SMS web gateway is included.

implements a client/server gateway to the SMS protocol.
It requires the use of dedicated hardware though (a
serial GSM module). Both SMS emission and reception are supported. The
server only runs under Linux at the present time and also supports
interactive mode via <B

>telnet</B
>. The command-line client
already exists for Linux, Solaris and HP-UX. A basic web interface is
provided. A Win32 client is in the works.

is a very simple program to announce incoming email to an SMS
address (email address) defined at compile time. The original
<EM
>From:</EM

>Subject:</EM

header are included in each mail announced.
