That's it, really.  The phone passes calls to * which routes as per  
configuration (onward dialing, or voicemail, ...).  However I also  
want smses delivered to the device to be handled by forwarding them by  
email, or posting them to a perl script hosted on a web server  
somewhere.  I have seen lots of gsm gateways that do the right things  
for calls, I just want a recommendation of a device that does the  
right thing with calls and sms.

Maybe when I had lots of spare time, that would have been a nice  
project. :-)
