gnokii vs smsd

[Stephen Baillie]

Now that gnokii is talking to my phone, I'm wondering how people are
using SMS connectivity.

It seems that gnokii takes a while to initiate the connection to the
phone - does smsd avoid this overhead by maintaining a connection?

How many calls per minute can gnokii/smsd handle?

Can you mix incoming and outgoing calls in gnokii from separate
processes, or does this confuse it?

How often does smsd check for new incoming SMSes?

Any specific answers, anecdotes on how you use gnokii/smsd or
recommendations appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve.
