SMS-GPS Tracking

Hi!

I'm currently developing an application to for online tracking by SMS.
Normally, I should have tested the application with my GSM modem but I seem
to be having a problem with my GSM modem, so I will like to similar SMS
messages on my PC and send them to the serial port of my Pc they by
eliminating the use of GSM modem for the testing.

Please, can anyone tell me what is required and how I'm I suppose to set
it up?

Maybe you can tell more. You are going to send SMS from your PC, through serial 
port, to where? Do you want to send plain message, or exact modem command for 
the message?

SMS from my PC (say, using a software) and that message should be send to
the ActiveXpert SMS Toolkit (as plain text) because the application I'm
writting was suppose to use a GSM modem and an the ActiveXpert SMS ToolKit.
But since the GSM modem is bad, I will like to use an alternative method
for the testing of my application(i.e eliminating the hardware part (GSM
modem) and using a software for that).

First, find GSM modem commands. This link might be a good start:
http://www.gsm-modem.de/gsm-modem-faq.html
Write your application in a way that it generates the correct commands/strings 
to send the SMS. You can first try writing the output to a file and examine it 
to verify.
I don't know about your toolkit but maybe you can use it to check the format of 
your message.
I hope that was helpful

Even sending SMS from a landline is complicated and quite expensive. There
are modems that support it, but they need to connect to a service to do so.
 The modem you need will probably be more expensive than a GSM modem, and
the cost per SMS more than the bundled deals. Probably best to get an
inclusive airtime and get on with it!
