Re: using kannel for sms/mms to and from computer to cell phone

Thanks for the help Davor.  Mighty Text uses the users cell phone to send
and receive messages as far as I understand it. Are they also making their
phone work as a modem on a linux box? Basically the user can't send and
receive messages without their cell phone on. The user installs the app on
their phone and a web browser plugin on the their computer. How could I
duplicate that setup? Are they using something like Kannel or a different
setup? Thanks!
