Continuing from the previous research and work, I've decided to build a complete gateway using the smsLib as a base. So far, I've already built part of it and completed the basic design. The system has a web interface which enables user management, gateway creation etc. The gateway management allows adding either a "local" GSM device or a third party gateway such as bulksms or clickatel. Within the smsLib API, load balancing and cost routing can be set. This allows multiple phones to be connected to the system to increase throughput - very handy. The API also enables specifying sms "handlers" which process incoming SMS's. This may allow some interesting options in managing a server via SMS? Once I'm finished, I'm considering releasing it as open source - It may be useful to someone.
