Sms With Zaurus

[daniel3000]

Hello,

what options do I have to send and receive SMS via Zaurus and Nokia 6310 phone over the IR port and how to set up the zaurus?

The optimal solution would be an email-client-like application where SMS could be written offline, queued and then sent all together when the phone is available, and at the same time the applicatoin downloads all SMSs from the phone and saves them locally.

I have looked at the zsms 1.0 package (putsms, getsms), but whateven options I use, I cannot get putsms to talk to the phone.

The dodcumentation of putsms mentions irattach. Do I have to do something with irattach first? I also tried with a prior

irattach /dev/ttyS2 -s

and then using /dev/ttyS2 instead of /dev/ircomm with putsms, but to no avail.

Anyone having experiences with IR comunications or even SMS applications with the Zaurus?

Please help!

Thank you
daniel

check that the permissions on /dev/ttyS* are 777, e.g. "chmod ugo+rw /dev/ttyS*"

you can also use bluetooth, use /dev/rfcomm0, after binding the rfcomm device to the mac address of the phone.

ah, permissions were not the problem. But the problem was that I did not know that I have to use /dev/ircomm after calling irattach, like so:

irattach /dev/ttyS1 -s
putsms -d/dev/ircomm -b115200 ...


not quite intuitive, IMHO. But now I can nicely send SMSs. Have to tweak the scripts a bit in order to achive the comfort I want.
Maybe I will try to embed this into mutt, so I can trat SMS the same way as email.

Thanks
