Hi, klkl!

I’ve just downloaded, configured, made, and installed the SMS Server Tools 3 on my MacBook with Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I’m using a HUAWEI HSDPA modem to test it.But I’m still got error on the log file. Could you share your primary configuration parameters on the /etc/smsd.conf file for it? Like what is the device name for it? There’s no ttyUSB0 (I’m guessing it’s on Linux only). Can I use the modem as sms gateaway while still using it as a HSDPA modem? I’m quite a newbie of this thing.
Thanks!

Well for me it was a simple matter of plugging the phone into my mac via usb and finding out which device it was assigned to then setting that variable in the conf.

I’m not sure about bluetooth, I’ve never tried it, nor a cdma phone, I didn’t have to use any AT commands.

As for Adium, I just deleted it… couldn’t get on with it so you’re best of searching for adium and applescript.

Whoa!!! Need some more info on sms server tools (what if I have only a bluetooth phone? Will it run smoothly and reconnect bt connection each time the sms is to be sent or received?). The docs for that server are so spacious. Do not have a gsm phone with me right now, and my cdma one is quite bizarre and doesn’t support at commands (it’s ubiquam u-300). So I’ll try a bit later. How do I set up a script for Adium? I checked the dictionary for that application but can’t find anything that would help me getting the text message to send it to the cell phone…

Also there’s an issue with emails that are sent to ‘undisclosed recipients’ they cause files with no content to be generated. I’m really not that familiar with applescript, it annoys me, and I don’t really have the time to figure this out right now.

I’ll come back to it when I’ve got time.

I’ve noticed that Mail.app appears to only run rules for messages delivered to the inbox of IMAP accounts. I use server side sieve scripts to organise my mail into sub mailboxes and Mail.app doesn’t apply this rule to those messages… bummer!

If anybody knows of a way of getting Mail.app to apply rules to new mail the server has organised I’d love to hear from you.
