[Asterisk-Users] Text Messaging or AIM

[Anton Krall]

There is a program for linux called centericq, this program is for
connecting a linux box to aim, icq, msn, etc something like trillian.
Anyway, this centericq lets you define external commands that can run when
you send it a message containing certain words. Also, you can define a
"system" call in asterisk. 

The way I see this is simple:

Install centericq on your linux box and get a nick for it so it will connect
to all messengers as would a person. Then define on its external command
file a keyword to create a .call file for asterisk. Then it is simple, just
send a message via any messenger to your linux box and it will create the
call file and asterisk will process it, thus, calling you. :)

How does that sound?

Does anyone know of a program/extention to asterisk that would allow me to
either text message my asterisk box or IM it from AIM on my cell phone to
allow it to call me? I've been looking with google yet can't find anything.
I don't code, so I'm SOL there, so I'm looking for something premade. I plan
on taking a class on perl during the fall semester at my local community
college, so if there isn't something like this out there already, maybe I
can get one out there.
