I'm not sure whether I mention in my earlier posts or not. I just have a
cron job that runs a custom script which calls gnokii via a command line
like "gnokii --getsms IN 1" and just pipe it's output back into my
script.

I poll every 5 minutes and it seems to work fine apart from the
occasional lock up. I have seen this with GSM modems quite often and can
live with it.

Can't really answer any of your specific questions, sorry.
