Bash and perl programing, asterisk and chan_dongle.

It uses the asterisk API. The only benefit I found was the queue 
management for high volume of sending/receiving. As asterisk can't send 
SMS more  than160-characters, I had to work out how to do it (PDU 
alteration). Anyway, 160-characters limit should be enough for most users.

Cheers!
