Send SMS using LAN connection?

[Bragi Fannar]

Does anybody know where I can find a code sample on how to send SMS messages
using LAN or modem connection?

Thank's in advance

I'm assuming you're talking about GSM Short Message Service messages?
There's not really a standard for doing this, as it really depends on what
the local service provider(s) offer -- you'll have to contact them to see if
they have any specs and/or software available. Most of the time, a modem
dialup and a rather trivial ASCII-based protocol is involved. Depending on
volume and circumstances, it might also pay off to hook up a GSM phone to a
central server, and use that to send the messages (again, using a rather
trivial, AT-command based, protocol).
