Works Under A Varietdy Of OSs Such As Linux, FreeBSD And MS Windows


 by an anonymous user on October 2nd 2008 at 03:21 AM

gsmlib is an open source and free library that works under a variety of OSs such as Linux, FreeBSD and MS Windows. You can use it to send and receive SMS messages with a PC through a GSM mobile phone or GSM modem. You can also use it to read/write SMS messages and phone book entries from/to the SIM card or store of a mobile phone. Besides the library, some command line tools that give access to the functions of the library are available.


gsmlib supports mobile phones that can work in AT mode. Most GSM phones can work in AT mode these days. A list of the mobile phones and GSM modems supported can be found on gsmlib's web site.


If you are not an SMS software developer, you may want to use xgsmlib instead of the command-line tools of gsmlib. xgsmlib is a graphical user interface for gsmlib. It runs under GNOME. Sending and receiving SMS messages with xgsmlib is easier and more intuitive than with gsmlib's command line tools. Some screenshots of xgsmlib can be found at here.


If you are an SMS software developer and need to write a program to send and receive SMS messages from a computer via a mobile phone or GSM modem, you can directly link the gsmlib library to your program and call its functions. In this way, you do not need to learn how to program with AT commands in order to control the mobile phone or GSM modem. Another way is to write a script or program to drive gsmlib's command line programs in the background.

Why Boxee Might (One Day) Make Me a MythTV Ex-Pat

Boxee is just one of several open source media center applications. Sam recently compiled a round up of some of the most popular, and I have been using MythTV for over a year now as a TiVO/DVR alternative.

I like MythTV for several reasons. It's not a project for the faint of heart, but it's less the fault of the software than the wild array of hardware that can be conceivably used in nearly every imaginable configuration. It is quite stable, and doesn't require hefty system specs. I didn't think overly about Boxee when I first heard of it. MythTV worked for me.

One thing that MythTV can't do, of course, is stream Netflix movies. I've all too frequently, now, run into problems with Netflix disks being a little too rough to run in my MythTV box's DVD player. This isn't the fault of MythTV -- it's a hardware/media issue.

Boxee is bringing Netflix onboard. There are a few catches, and a few bits that are a little unclear, but this might lead, at the very least, to Boxee running alongside my MythTV installation.



Keep Your Eye on Webkit and Multiple Browsers in the Browser Wars

Wow, the competition among open source browsers is getting so heated that you have to stay on top of the day-to-day goings on with the pre-release versions. We've written before about Google Chrome winning speed tests, and I keep hearing people cite it as the fastest browser. Meanwhile, CNet has been posting speed results showing very strong performance from the beta version of Firefox 3.1 (it is indeed snappy).? Now, there are some new performance results out that show the nightly builds of Webkit--the open source rendering engine within Safari and Chrome--posting the fastest speeds of all.
