Looking for a GSM modem library

[MaXimus]

Hi everyone,

I've developed my own little GSM module in Delphi which can communicate with Wavecom and some of the Siemens GSM modules. It's basic use is for software to be able to send and receive SMS's and handle other basic functions such as Pin and Puk code entries, etc. My little GSM engine works but I'm looking around for something which is a bit more advanced and can handle more types of units.

Does anyone know where I can find an open source, free or commercial library that can do this for me. Preferably it should not be an ActiveX or COM object but rather just a DLL or Delphi component. It should also be reliable since I'll be using it as part of a server application.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

To handle more types of "com" modems??


you wont have a problem handling more types of units, as they are all "com"
when you get to USB, the device has an emulated com anyway...

advance it yourself, you don't need other people's libraries to do anything for GSM modems.. you can do everything in plain old delphi with a com device :)

go find some help or some source code on it, and do it yourself... you gonna be very proud of it when its done with no 3rd party libraries

i could be wrong but thats my view on it...

I think he means COM as in Component Object Model not COM as in Communications Port.

Max, Kendr is an embedded developer and he uses GSM for a bunch of his monitoring systems. I'll ask him today but chances are he'll ask me a bunch of things about the library you are looking for and just make me feel like an idiot :P.

I'll PM you him MSN addy once I get to the office.

Where is that Kendr mofo, tell him tooooo come say howzit the foookah

I was indeed refering to COM (Component Object Model) libraries and not COM as in COM port or serial port. My own engine can handle a number of GSM modems at once over multiple serial ports, but that is not the problem. Currently it doesn't support GPRS yet and other more advanced modem functions. I will probably end up just adding to it but I'm sitting with a bit of a time crunch situation where there are more pressing things to get done. So I was just looking around and hoping someone has a nice 'lil easy to use library that can give me the extra functionality. Thx for the responses though guys :)

:p

hehe, i was talking about the modems, different wavelenght there.. :)

Max, if you want to go GPRS aswell, i think a wavecom with ip stacking on it would be a good start... :)

but don't listen to me if i'm wrong... iv'e worked with gsm modems, but never developed anything for them
