So you say we want to read the flash but never write to it? How do you think the SMS arrive on the SIM card? The phone writes them there. As long as you are a normal user, this is not a problem. Example: a kid receives 30 messages a day, makes 10950 a year. So in 10 years you reach 109'500 which is near the lifespan of a flash (depends on the flash type used). However some users of kannel receive this amount of messages in a few hours. Heavy users of kannel can easily receive that in 7 days. -- Andreas Fink Fink-Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tel: +41-61-6932730 Fax: +41-61-6932729 Mobile: +41-79-2457333 Address: A.
