</div>ah, sounds great. If you don't know DBus at all I suggest you look for<br>
a tutorial for your programming language of choice ie. for C [1] or<br>
python [2].<br>
<br>
Then you can take a look at the FSO API documentation in order to learn<br>
what methods you can use.<br>

<br>
Interesting for you is the org.freesmartphone.GSM.SMS and<br>
org.freedesktop.Gypsy.Position interface along with<br>
org.freesmartphone.Usage.<br>

</div>You can take a look at the sms-sentry project [3] to get an idea about a<br>
project that is trying to do something very similar. If you are writing<br>
your application in python porting is pretty easy. For C you will need<br>
to compile your application with a cross compiler. In any case<br>
developing on your PC is possible and reasonable. You can run the<br>
framework on your PC as well (as I am for managing my UMTS modem).<br>
