KevinGreene: Some progress made.
It seems that since most modern USB based modems also have a MicroSD slot inside, you need to work around this as the drive steals the ttyUSB numbers.
See this article: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19984956/udev-rule-for-symlinking-usb-device
No clear fix but after setting the speed back to 115,200 and setting the port to "ttuUSB5", I was able to send messages.
What needs to happen is to find a long term solution for disabling the MicroSD drive function.
Anyway - nice way to end the weekend. Sadly - it may not last.
Cheers and thanks for listening.
Kevin

Hi all:
I am trying to use a Sierra Wireless 3G modem with the current version of SMSD. Sadly, I have failed somewhere in the configuration.
Prior to connecting it to the Linux host, I tested the modem on my laptop and it worked well. I was able to send SMS traffic and receive it. Thus, I know the SIM card is valid and has the SMS service enabled.
I then connected it to the Linux host and I can see it using the lsusb command.
/etc# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0f3d:68aa Airprime, Incorporated
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e0f:0003 VMware, Inc. Virtual Mouse
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0e0f:0002 VMware, Inc. Virtual USB Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Note: Airprime is a brand owned by Sierra Wireless
I then checked it port using the dmesg command and was able to see it.
Interesting that it shows up as "ttyUSB0" to "ttyUSB5".

I then ensured that the /etc/smsd.conf configuration lines were correct:
device = /dev/ttyUSB0
baudrate = 115200
rtscts = yes
Note: I actually tried all ports without luck.
I tried a number of combinations of the "init" line without luck also.
My last variation was:
init = AT+CREG?
Having set the log level to 7 to get full information, I saw not much happening except it could not find the modem
Thus, it tells me that SMSD may be working but could not find the missing modem.
Checking if modem is ready
2018-10-12 20:13:08,7, GSM1: -> AT
2018-10-12 20:13:08,7, GSM1: time 1 ms Command is sent, waiting for the answer. (5)

2018-10-12 20:13:13,7, GSM1: time 4165 ms <-
I am assuming that I am missing some configuration command. Having read the "how to" section many times, perhaps I have done something very wrong.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks.
Kevin
