Hi Elliot,

sms-service is included in Asterisk since 1.2.
Just tried it out, (from cli):

smsq --motx-channel="mISDN/1/0673644444" 061368506 "testje"

=first number is the fixed-sms-provider (here, KPN)
=second number is the target

Just taken rightout from the wiki pages.
I presume one could set the MSN-as well,
