Happy to clarify (as much as I can). What we are trying to do is send SMS messages via a cellular device. We are looking at your program and a MultiTech modem. We are trying to verify we can do what we need by using your program and a cellphone (connected via a USB cable) as the connection to the cell world. We are in a Verizon, Sprint/Nextel (or what ever they are called this week) and CellOne (soon to be AT&T also) area. They are the primary carriers, and are cdma and not gsm. None of their local stores sell a phone that has a SIM in it (so they claim). With Verizon (who we have our cellphones from), for a device to 'connect' to the internet world, it 'dials' #777 (over the cellphone). This then establishes a connection for WWW usage. We may be way off in how we are configuring our equipment. We are trying to use the SMS ring to send message to carriers that are VERY unreliable with SMTP and do not have TAP access.
Any suggestions on how to do what we are trying to do? If we did get a GSM device, we are not sure how well it would be supported (signal wise and for how long). Are we WAY off in our thinking?
Thanks for your help!

We are trying to SMS via Verizon (CDMA). We are using a verizon cell modem card in a laptop (Pantech PC Card UDP). The modem is on COM 4. The PANTECH Packet Service Diagnostic Serial Port (UDP) is assigned Com 5. We are trying to SMS to a verizon phone.
The closest we have gotten is to set Dialer 1 to Com 5 direct connect, and pre-establish a dialup connection (via the Pantech modem). Below is what is in the dialer log (repeated over and over):

Ant suggestions on how to accomplish this. We are trying to test this prior to spending the money for your program and the MultiTech modem.
Thanks!
