Hi Dave,
Thanks for the reply. I think as long as it was fairly configurable, it
would be fine. Giving the user the option to never send SMS would
probably be the best way.
On Wengo specifically - does it leverage Telepathy or is it a total
rewrite (not making any statement as to which was first....) Telepathy
also seems to do much of this - just no SIP.
Regards,
Josh
