Ask Olle! :-)
The sip part of that is a mistery for me... I can work on dahdi part, 
but on sip my skills are below zero
I think we could have one "standard text mesage model" for asterisk and 
make any messages protocol "talk" with it... So in a gsm->sip sms we 
translate from gsm to asterisk model and then on asterisk model to 
sip... It's only one idea...So if in future we can use message 
facilities over pri (for example) we might make them fall into standard 
asterisk model...

Then do you think that a "libgsm", some dahdi additional code plus 
hardware modules could be an interesting "path" to work with?
