Thanks for the info and link. My research has shown that dealers
here in the US do not have phones that will send SMS via a serial cable.
I have been told thats not allowed in this country.
I was told by T-MOBLE that the FCC does not allow it.
I believe that the carriers don't allow it.
But who really knows, and which phones have this capability ??
Thanks again
