Hi all - I am very interested in thsi after one of our employees came up with a great idea of using mobile phones to enter their timesheets.

what I would like to know is if SMS Server Tools can handle incoming texts and output to a file which I can then manipulate with whatever script...

I would like to be able to accept SMS's from staff along the lines of...

1130:0800:1330:P3:C2:M13

Which breaks down as...

EmployeeNo:StartTime:EndTime:ProjectCode:ClientCode:Mileage

(or similar)

I can then create time recording logs for input into our billing and payroll system (with any luck!)

I have lots and lots of Linux experience, just need to knwo if this can handle around 300 incoming SMS's a day?

I have a big quad core server waiting !
