[OT]Re: Mobile phone on serial port - Howto send sms?

[Kwok Peng Tuck <pe...@makmal.net>]

Another option is available to you John-Paul, specifically, 
http://www.kannel.org which is a wap and sms gateway.
This gateway is based on linux although you can use cygwin to compile 
and run it, far from ideal but it does work
and is usable enough for testing.  The gateway does support most GSM 
modems and supports other major protocols like
SMPP, CIMD... for connecting to telcos. Once you set it up you can send 
sms through it's http interface. So from your servlet or business logic 
class, just
make a http call to the gateway with the correct parameters and your sms 
will be sent of.

A library like commons http-client  will be quite useful in this case.
FYI : kannel is open source.
