hi svend
thanks for all the help (and the script).
so T-D1 is your telecommunications provider. you send this date to your
telecom provider and he arranges to send this to the mobile phone ?
in our case we want our ISP to be our telecom provider. this would be a very
basic service. all the ISP is giving us is
1) an ip address
2) a port
3) a protocol SMPP or Java API
4) a format.
so according to me what they want is to send data from our AIX box to this
ip address on a given port using the SMPP protocol.
that is where i am stuck. how do i do this. i have gone thru your script
(still trying to understand it :) ). you seem to be also doing the same
thing to your telecom provider .
basic question ...how do i send some data (maybe a small txt file) from an
AIX box to a given ip over a given port ?? any clues ??
Thanks a million for all the help.
regards
shirish joshi

Hi Shirish,
I am sorry for causing confusion. T-D1 is our telecommunications provider
not our ISP.
I'll explain step by step what we did.
1) enable cell phone for receiving emails as sms:
* send sms to phone number 8000 with keyword OPEN (keyword CLOSE
will disable this service)
2) figure out the DNS name/IP address of the SMTP server of your
telecommunications provider:
* nslookup
* set type=MX
* t-d1-sms.de
3) write shell script for sending emails (we don't use postfix, sendmail or
anything else):
* see attachment shirish.ksh (you can reduce the smtp body to a
minimum according to your needs)
Hopefully this helps
Svend

hi Svend
I have been told our ISP would only accept SMPP and Java API.
Any clues about what these are and whether AIX can use these ?
I have been told that our ISP will give us an IP address and when we send
data to this IP address in the above protocol and they will forward this to
the mobile phone.

Hi Shirish,
isn't there any option in your cell phone to receive emails as sms?
We have enabled this service for our on-call cell phones and send emails to
cell_phone_number@t-d1-sms.de <mailto:cell_phone_number@t-d1-sms.de> (T-D1
is the name of the provider).

hi there AIX Gurus,
I am a bit new to this AIX stuff . Does anyone of you know how to send SMS
messages from an AIX box. We are able to send emails to the internet from
this AIX box , and I was hoping sending SMS's would be something similar
Any help would be greatly appreciated .
