Re: [amsat-bb] Satellite Rising - Text Message / Alpha Numeric Pager

["Simon Brown \(HB9DRV\)" <simon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well - I have commercial code I wrote to send a SMS via a serial port & GSM, 
works fine with ASCII and UNICODE messages of unlimited size. I can consider 
make the C++ source available if anyone out there wants it for a free or 
AMSAT-branded program (i.e. not a money-grabbing program).

Contact me off-list if you're a software author.
