Operating system name and version: Ubuntu 10.4 64
Version of smsd: 3.1.6
Smsd installed from: package repository
Name and model of a modem / phone: Wavecom Fastrack Go
Interface: serial

GSM modem works fine in minicom with hardware flow control on, 115200,8N1, /dev/ttyS0 - I can send sms messages okay with minicom.

/etc/smsd.conf

[WAVECOM]
device = /dev/ttyS0
incoming = no
mode = new
rtscts = yes
baudrate = 115200
read_timeout = 5

When starting smsd I get the following in the log file.

2010-08-18 14:08:37,5, WAVECOM: Modem handler 0 has started. PID: 19356. Will only send messages.

* looks like this line it is sending some garbage it's a little square character.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

As an update i've just got this modem working under CentOS 5.5 x86_64 with smsd tools Smsd v3.0.10 from epel repo.

There is a bug in the <= 3.1.8 of smsd. It causes the trouble when running smsd with 64bit Ubuntu 10.04 on Intel processor. You have to upgrade to at least 3.1.9, preferably to 3.1.11.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll remember that the next time when testing with Ubuntu.
