Re: Text messaging from web url

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Hmm...

/rummage/

In my old "spares" tub I have a Nokia 5510 complete with SIM
(with an active
monthly contract paid for by my employer!), and a Ubinetics GC201 Dual band
GSM PC-Card.

.. Must be able to coblle together something with that!
