504.0. "sending SMS messages" by VELI::KORKKO (Veli K�rkk� @FNO, 879-5512) Thu Jan 30 1997 14:54

        There are quite a few ways to send SMS messages to GSM phones.
        E.q. with some phones (like Nokia 2110i) one can use the phone
        itself directly to send short messages to other phones. There
        are also PC utilities and then you have to connect the phone to
        PC using either PCMCIA card or in some cases directly to PC COM
        port.
        
        In Finland I can send SMS messages to GSM phones also via X.400,
        like
        
        	S=040xxxxxx; P=GSM; A=MAILNET; C=FI
        or
        	S=050xxxxxx; P=RLGSM; A=ELISA; C=FI
        
        But for speed etc. I have need for something different, like
        being able to wire GSM phone directly to serial port of a VAX or
        Alpha. Operating system could OpenVMS (preferably) or "Unix".
        
        Has aynone available such a utility? Where could I get some
        specifications (for commands that can be sent to say Nokia
        2110i via the port at the bottom of phone)?

    Have you asked Nokia? Well forget it - they won't tell you, it's all
    proprietary.
    
    And the H/W interface is far from simple.
