Hi, Denis,

I looked at it briefly, but not nearly as deeply as you did.  From what
you said, I agree it's pretty convoluted.  However, I see they also have
a PHP driver; are there any phones out there which run PHP?  Or is it
something you can put on a PC or server to send SMS messages from there
(I still don't know how you'd receive a message).
