pysmssend
pysmssend is a utility to send sms over some internet gateways. It currently has support for 3 ISPs, Otenet, Voipbuster and Voipdiscount. There are 2 ways to use it, either with a QT4 gui or by command line. It also has some, experimental at the moment, support for address book (gui only).
Since I liked the idea behind the utility I contacted the author and helped him by providing some ideas and a few fixes. I’ve also created an ebuild for it.
You can find more info about the utility and see some screenshots on the pysmssend kde-apps site since the utility’s website on sourceforge is not yet ready and has only the ebuild and a pkgbuild for Arch Linux.
Its command line usage combined with a monitoring package that supports external commands when something important has happened, can prove very handy. I hope Markos (the author) will keep on fixing bugs and improving the utility 🙂

Back in the year 2002, I had also written a similar utility. It used mail.mycosmos.gr as a sms gateway. Both a command line interface and a GTK gui were provided. It was written in C and had no external dependencies. You may still find useful ideas in it.
It can be found here: http://mgiannakidis.googlepages.com/ under the link mycosmos.
It does not work today due to changes from the server side.
