SMS in my opinion

[dutch]

Dear Otto&Jose,

- Jose source code is working perfect for PDA Application.
- Skype call is very good job but need internet connection and high cost.
- For my case, I need SMS Server for serving all client pc. The weak point to use PDA phone is battery and wifi.
- I think mCore ActiveX Component with GSM USB modem is best choice for me. Because it has no problem with battery (it use file server power via USB) and
without need wifi or internet connection. Just GSM USB modem (AirCard) and it quite simple and low cost (GSM Provider Promotion).

This is our test and idea.

Regards,
Dutch

Hello Dutch,
this is exactly what I think, too.
Would you be so kind to share how to use mCore ActiveX component with FIVEWIN?

Thanks in advance
Otto

Dear Otto,

This is sample code to use with mCore 1.8. I can test with NOKIA mobile easily and I going to buy GSM modem to test it.

Hello Dutch,

thank you for sharing the code.
This is really what I would need to substitute my old VB6 program.

Do you have a link where to buy mCore ?

I see you are now using ADS.
Maybe you find some time to comment about the advantages running ADS and the problems you faced updating to ADS.



Thanks in advance
Otto
