We are toying with communications ideas for a PC-based platform and
wondered if using SMS messaging over GSM would be something that could be
done easily in QNX. i.e. Is hardware and drivers available for a PC
platform? Has anyone done anything remotely similar to this?
Any response is appreciated

We did a system which is equivalent to full GSM MSC + BSC (collapsed into
one box). CompactPCI factor, hardware from NMS and Brooktrout. They do have
QNX drivers, although NMS prefers to treat them as custom engineering job,
since we were their only QNX customer. Now, if they got another customer,
they might change their mind perhaps. Intel/Trillium also have SS7 stack for
QNX.

We have developed a device driver for “generic” GSM modems for sending and
receiving SMS. We have tested it with wavecom (www.wavecom.com) and falcom
(www.falcom.de) devices. The interface is very easy.
Sending an SMS looks like:
echo ^number^text message you want to send^ > /dev/sms
Reading a received SMS looks like:
cat /dev/sms
