xAP SMS Update


  • Subject: xAP SMS Update
  • From: James Traynor

New Features
------------
If you have Outlook installed SMS will display any Outlook contact that
has a mobile number
Upon startup SMS sends out a xAP database request and fills up its
contact database with the result. The upshot of which means that if you
run multiple SMS's on you network they will all load a central address
book (requires xAPDb from Ascentium)
Note, both Outlook and xAP addressbooks are read only. You still have
the old internal address book which is fully read/write
Adds full two way SMS support. Upon receiving an sms the sms is
displayed in a window, also the message is sent out as xAP.
Incoming SMS can also be sent out as speech and display messages.
Incoming SMS's are saved in an inbox for easy viewing
Added better UID control. ie the UID is now not random and will be the
same one every run.

Now the bad news
The two way sms service is not currently available from sendmytxt. It
will be soon, it's just under test at the moment. I will post more
information when its available. What I can say is the messages come in
instantly and have been perfectly reliable.

Incoming data
The incoming sms comes in as an http request. SMS basically now has a
small webserver on port 43639 to receive the data so you will need to
set up an ip port forward on your router so it can get the data.
