naplesdave: I have used them before for other projects... I suppose it is simple coding here; I thought it would be better for someone who has actually worked with your software before, but maybe that's not an issue.
Thanks again for your help.

naplesdave: Ah, sorry about that. I knew it wasn't yours. I did glance over the pages.
I think what I want to do is beyond the scope of my skill in bash or any shell scripting. It would be nice to be able to hire someone with some knowledge of the software and SMS, etc. Do you know of any people that freelance in this area?
Thanks a bunch, Keke. You've been extremely helpful.

naplesdave: The more I read the more I get confused and am wondering if buying your book would be the solution.
For example, right now I have a working web server with PHP and MySQL, a working SMS Server Tools 3, but no knowledge in really how to tie them together.
I'll keep digging here. :-) I am not complaining... just putting in a lot of time on the site.
Kind regards,

naplesdave: Hi Keke,
I didn't install the web server as part of Debian, and as an afterthought I supposed that is vital, however, I am curious how people are using SMS Server Tools 3 in the real world? Are they running in-house servers?
Thanks for any help.

naplesdave: Operating system name and version: Debian (lenny)
Version of smsd: 3.1.6
Smsd installed from: sources
Name and model of a modem / phone: Don't have one yet
Interface: Probably USB
Hello Keke, community, et all...
I am not sure where to start. I spent most of the morning reading this site and am excited about the possibilities of using SMS Server Tools 3. I got Debian installed and installed SMS Server Tools successfully, and I don't have a modem yet.
But searching through the forum I couldn't find out if the software will really fit my application.
What I plan to build is a website where users can subscribe to alerts. Plans are for a youth, middle aged, and elderly list that users could subscribe to. As they subscribe from a web page, their numbers would accumulate into a list. As I have information for them, I would send out SMS messages to each list.
Ideally, the system would be able to accept short codes to enable the end user to suspend, or modify their subscription. But initially, this wouldn't be necessary.
The main thing now is to:
1. Determine if SMS Server Tools 3 will work for my project...at least initially.
2. Find a modem that will work with the software. It would be real useful to keep an up-to-date list, not necessarily kept current by you, Keke, but maybe a Topic area on the board here where we can list which phones/modems have worked successfully. Right now they are everywhere on the board, even in the Feature Requests area.
3. Figure out how to create a web interface for users to subscribe, and an administrator to create messages to send out.
Thanks for any help. I've used Linux for a while, but only as a web server and am not too great on the programming end, but am willing to learn, or pay someone to do this part of it.
Kind regards,
