I'd respectfully submit that there wasn't much of a mission.. :-p I do agree, tho, that an external / serial / mmmmaybe-usb gsm device is the route to pursue. I also '+1' / 'bump' the earlier suggestion that the OP (bill) look into Twilio. Their level of support/interaction/help/you-name-it sets standards I wish everyone lived by, and Twilio ease of use & reliability is second to none, or, at the least, one of a very few. -- jamie rishaw // .com.arpa@j <- reverse it. ish.
