Hi

The GSM modem that I am trying to work is rated to work with ETSI EN 301 511, ETSI EN 301 489-1, and ETSI EN 301 489-7. I am just wondering if this modem will work with sms server tools 3. The FAQ points out that this tool will work with versions GSM 07.05 (=ETSI TS 300 585) and GSM 03.38 (=ETSI TS 100 900).

sudo tail - 20 /var/log/smsd.log:

Those standards are about AT commands and character sets. TC65 should work fine.

As there is Input/output error, you could try to set the baudrate to 9600, or 19200. By default it's 115200, which may be too much in this case.

Thank you very much for your reply. I'll implement your suggestions within 2 hours - when Iget to work. I'll do a follow up after that.

Thank you Keke

It turns out that I did not have a correct port associated with the modem and that was the problem. The problem is now fixed. Thank you.

I have another question relating to running mySQL with sms server tool but I will start another thread for this topic.
