Hello everyone,
I'm thinking about getting a USB 3G dongle for my home automation server (which runs Windows Server 2003). It will be partly to provide a backup data connection for the home security features in case the broadband goes down.
But I'd also like to be able to use it to receive SMS text messages and "do stuff" based on the content of the message. Does anybody know of any software that can monitor the dongle for incoming text messages and, for example, run a command-line program? Or can the standard software that comes with these devices do that?
If anybody with experience of this sort of thing has any thoughts, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks!
