SMaSh

SMaSh is a program for sending messages to digital phones, pagers and any other device you can communicate with. Smash is actually a rewrite/cleanup of "SMS Server" that Björn wrote several years ago. This new version, written by Björn and Daniel, sports all the predecessors fancy features, and some more:

• Client/server architecture. One server does the SMS gruntwork, while a lightweight, portable client can be used from anywhere to submit messages.
• Message spooling. Buffering submitted messages for a while and then sending them all at once result in substantial cost savings for those protocols that rely on dial-up delivery.
• Open, HTTP-like protocol allowing anyone to create their a client.
• Dynamic plugin system that lets you add, delete or modify operator protocol plugins on the fly, without restarting the server.

  Description

  The smash queueing server receives messages from smash clients (using a simple networking protocol) and flushes its queue on a given interval. A typical example is every 5 minutes.

  Smash then forks a caller process that uses the correct plugin(s) to deliver the messages. The plugins can be operator and protocol specific. A plugin can use a local modem to dial a GSM operator, or it can send off the message across the internet to a network-based operator.

  The smash client is a lightweight program to enable easy porting to any platform. It passes on plain-text to the server. It gives a wide range of capabilities for other translation filters, like converting mails to text (mail2sms) or submitting data from a HTML form. Only your imagination sets the limits.

  Help us!

  We're at the moment very focused on Swedish operators and we use the roaming 'Europolitan' provides. We need help to make plugins for other operator and protocol support.
