Overview
========
SMS Gateway is a unique Short Message Service (SMS) messaging tool. 
It facilitates complete two way messaging capabilities over 
GSM networks for Windows 95 / NT based applications through the 
use of DDE, OLE Automation, and the Command Line Interface (CLI).

SMS Gateway connects a PC to a GSM handset (mobile terminal), 
via a PCMCIA "Cellular Data Card", or cable connected to a COM 
port. Through this connection all messages currently stored in 
the mobile terminal can be retrieved, new messages sent, and 
new incoming messages be sent straight through to the PC.

SMS Gateway comes with a powerful interactive two way messaging 
utility named SMS Messenger, that demonstrates the capabilities 
of SMS Gateway. This utility may be used for ad-hoc messaging 
alongside a corporate messaging or database access application.

For developers, SMS Gateway leverages the common Dynamic Data 
Exchange (DDE) and Object Linking and Embedding Automation 
(OLE Automation) specifications to allow the transmission and 
reception of SMS messages directly from any application supporting 
these standards. Applications supporting DDE & OLE Automation 
include; Delphi, Paradox, FoxPro, WordPerfect, Excel, Word, 
Access, Visual Basic, and many more.

SMS Gateway also supports the sending of messages to individual 
or groups of destinations directly from the Windows Command Line. 
This facility is useful for easy integration with Network Management 
utilities that are able issue Windows commands under certain 
prescribed circumstances, e.g. to send a message to a technician 
when a certain equipment alarm is raised.

Fully commented source code for the above mentioned SMS Messenger 
application, written in Delphi 4.0, is also included in the package
, so you can easily adapt its functions for your particular needs.

Sample code for sending messages, receiving messages and controlling 
SMS Gateway using Excel 97 is also included with the installation files.

SMS Gateway is suitable for dispatch, field access to databases, 
telemetry, vehicle tracking, and many more such applications.

We hope you find SMS Gateway a powerfull business tool 
that will enhance your business provide good value for money.
