Homepage for GSMI/GSMD::Gnokii
This is the homepage of the newly written GSMI/GSMD::Gnokii Package.
If You are using gnokii 0.3.3 or before go here.
Starting with gnokii 0.4.x the whole stuff was redesigned so I more or
less had to start from scratch. While doing this I thought it would be
a good idea to split a generic part from the library-detail
implementation like it is done with DBI/DBD for databases.
So now there are two modules available for download GSMI and
GSMD::Gnokii.
Requirements
You need perl 5.6 or above nothing else is supported. Also You need a
gnokii version greater then 0.5 to be installed. You should set the
environment variable GNOKII_DIR to the directory where You unpacked
and compiled gnokii. If You don't set it /var/tmp/gnokii will be used.
Not all of the gnokii-binary's functionality is implemented in the
module. So please send mail at gnokii@agouros.de
if You need more
features. If You want logo/ringtone-support please send a file for me
to test this with.
Beta-Test
There is a new version of GSMI and GSMD out. GSMD fixes a few bugs and
has added support for sendringtone.
This is done by adding sending a sms and in the smshash put 'ringtone'
instead of message please test this and give
me feedback.
Find GSMI here here and GSMD here
News
Thanks to Ian Batterbee from New Zealand the GSMD-Driver module now
supports bluetooth. Simply set the connection type to bluetooth and
enter the macaddress as device.
An example (from Ian) would be:
GSMI->connect("driver=Gnokii;device=00:11:22:33:44:55;options=model:6820,connection:bluetooth,initlength:1");
Installation
First download GSMI. Do a
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
Do not do a 'make test' this isn't implemented yet.
Next download GSMD::Gnokii.
Unpack it
and also do a:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
in the directory where You unpacked it. A test.pl-File is included in
the GSMI directory. This is not for a make test but for showing how
the code is supposed to work.
Warranty
There is none! I take no warranty or liability for the use of this
software. So if You use it You use it at Your own risk, any damages
that might occur are
Your problem not mine! You have been warned
Postcardware
Quite some time ago I heard of something called "Postcardware" which
meant
that instead of paying something the author of the software would like
to receive postcards from the users just for the fun of getting
postcards
from all over the world. So if you like the software I would be happy
to
get some snailmail \:) Snail-Address:
